Co-founder, Business & Marketing

Originally from Italy, I grew up with a passion for travel, inspired by my father—an airplane pilot and sailor—who took me around the world from an early age.

I studied Management for Arts, Culture, Media, and Entertainment at Bocconi University in Milan and worked in product marketing for ZEISS. But after spending much of my childhood traveling in camper vans and boats, I realized I wanted to channel my experience into a project that embraced adventure while also protecting the environment and building a better future for our daughters.

In 2021, with a newborn and another baby on the way, I co-founded Levante with Kim. At Levante, I lead product marketing, business development, and administration, while fostering relationships with project partners and expanding our network.

Today, we continue to travel the world with our three daughters by RV and sailboat, living our values, testing our innovations in real-world conditions, and working toward a more sustainable future.

Co-Founder, Product R&D, Technologies, Installations

Originally from Norway, I’ve always dreamed of moving to Italy to design cars. That dream became reality when I met Sara in Denmark in 2010. I moved to Italy to study Design & Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, laying the foundation for my career in mechanical industrial design.

I spent years working in motorsports, notably with Dallara, Podium Engineering, Formula 1, and Formula 3, specializing in composite materials and product development.

My work in automotive and racing gave me expertise in creating lightweight, durable, and high-performance structures.

Over time, I realized I wanted to use my skills for something meaningful—to create technology with real impact.

At Levante, I apply my motorsport engineering and composites experience to develop cutting-edge solar panels that are high-performing, beautifully designed, and built to last.

I am a proud husband, father of three daughters, and love discovering the world, and spending time in nature with my family.

R&D consultants, design advisors and tester

Originally from Haiti and Canada, we, Dan and Kika, are international design consultants with extensive experience in the sailing industry. We are also the creators of Sailing Uma, a globally recognized YouTube channel documenting our journey of exploration, innovation, and sustainable living at sea.

For years, we’ve been sailing the world aboard UMA, our all-electric sailboat—more than just our home, it’s a real-world testing platform for cutting-edge gear and technologies.

Through R&D, design advising, testing, and promotion, we leverage our hands-on experience to push the boundaries of efficiency and sustainability. That’s why we partnered with Levante to integrate their advanced solar panels, testing them in off-grid, high-performance conditions.

Sailing is more than a way of life for us—it’s a mindset of adaptability, creativity, and engineering solutions that make a difference. Through our work, we aim to inspire a future where design, technology, and sustainability go hand in hand.

Project Manager

Originally from the Netherlands, I moved to Puglia in 2024 after exploring Europe in a camper for a year with my family and our Golden Retriever Nola.

I studied social sciences and specialize in service design thinking, inclusion, and co-creation. I enjoy exploring people’s needs, talents, and dreams. At Accenture, I gained project management skills, worked as an HR consultant for start-ups, and co-founded a service design company focused on social issues.

My ‘hungry curiosity’ makes me adaptable across many business fields, and my down-to-earth mentality helps me enjoy life, even when stress is near.

At Levante, I ensure projects meet deadlines, information flows smoothly, issues are addressed, and expectations are met. Feel free to contact me to explore how Levante can help you!

Energy & Electronics Consultant

Originally from Norway, I am a sailor, teacher, consultant, and engineer with a deep passion for renewable energy and life at sea.

I hold an MSc in Electric Power Engineering from NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) and teach at a vocational school in Norway, specializing in electric machinery, power grids, and renewable energy.

My work bridges theory and real-world application, combining technical expertise with hands-on experience. Whether in the classroom or on the water, I’m always exploring innovative solutions for a more sustainable future.
