In 2018 named as Fortune’s Most Influential and Innovative Woman in Italy, Riccarda is an Ashoka fellow and her work has been praised in reports such as “The Skilling Challenge” and “ChangemakHERS”. She is the bestselling author of MAAM: Maternity is a Master that makes men and women stronger. She is also the mother of two amazing human beings and, against every stereotype on Italian women, a very bad cook.
