Ivan
CEO & Manager
I was born and grew up in Sicily.
My mother and my grandmother gave me the passion for plants that lit up in me when I was 15 years old.
The enthusiasm for the world of plants led me to Padova University at 19 years old where I graduated with honours in Agriculture and Science Technology. Then I specialized in Roma, attending a Master Course in Internationalization for Plants Nurseries at the International Trade Agency.
In 2009 I started to work in an Italian nursery, managing the entire export of the company for the next 12 years. I exported ornamental plants to 18 different countries, increasing considerably the sales volume.
The strong acquired know-how and the desire to chase my passions persuaded me it was the right time for a new challenge: in 2021 The Plantship was born!
