Founder
Founder & Principal Consultant
Julia founded Fondamenta Consulting with roots in two cultures — Italian and Portuguese — and an international outlook shaped by years of work across Europe and beyond. With over a decade of professional experience in the sports industry, she brings informed, direct, and relationship-driven counsel to clients navigating complex environments.
The company's name reflects a personal connection to Venice, where the fondamenta — the walkways that line the city's canals — represent both place and purpose: a foundation on which to build, and a vantage point from which to see clearly.
