Rossella is a sales trainer and founder of Going Expat, supporting entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small business owners in building confidence around selling.

​

At the heart of her work is a genuine curiosity about what brings people closer to themselves and to one another, creating spaces where reflection, dialogue, and genuine connection can unfold — especially across differences.
