Domenico Pellitteri
Program Coordinator (AHA Program) and Project Manager (Ashoka Romania)
I am an international Sicilian professional, who has lived in 8 European regions, Bucharest (current place) included.
Before Ashoka, my background in Economics&Sustainable Development and my 4+ years of international work experience for organizations promoting monetary, financial and legal tools to foster sustainability and social innovation, provided me with the awareness that change is needed in several systems.
Ashoka represents for me a space of action to act for the common good. I enjoy working with Ashoka Fellows, changemakers and the whole ecosystem to foster social progress.
I am passionate about reading socio-economic books, getting lost in historical city centres, playing football and squash.
