Claudio Colantoni Sr. Business Development Manager
WHY I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT LANDESA’S MISSION:
I have been working in the NGO sector for more than 30 years. I am passionate about my current job because Landesa goes to the roots of the problems and works to produce systemic, long-term changes instead of addressing only the most visible consequences.
ABOUT CLAUDIO:
I started to work in the NGO sector in 1990 when I carried out my civil service in lieu of military service in a small NGO in my hometown, Livorno (Tuscany, Italy). After that, I worked for several Italian NGOs at the HQ level and then spent more than 15 years as Country Director in Africa and the Middle East, working and representing both European and American NGOs.
