LLuciana Alemanno
Hi, I'm Luciana I've worked in project and programme delivery and operations for more than fifteen years, in film and TV, retail, startups and non-profits. Wherever I've been, I've ended up doing the unglamorous back office stuff: working out why things keep going wrong, and building something that stops it happening again. In 2024, a redundancy turned into a career break, and I used the time to realign my work with my values. I wanted my skills to go towards problems that matter, for people and the planet, now and in the long run. Waste reduction and the circular economy are close to my heart, and they shape how I look at operations too: most of what slows a small team down is waste. Time lost to duplicated effort, to tools nobody trusts, and to work that starts but never quite finishes. Now I work with small teams in AI safety and long-term risk, animal welfare, climate and the circular economy. I help them get time back for the work that matters, with simpler systems and tools the team actually uses. Small teams doing good work, usually somewhere between five and thirty people, at the point where the way things run hasn't kept up with what they're trying to do. Often that's just after a big grant, a new hire or a new programme. Sometimes it's simply that everyone's stretched, and nobody's had the time to step back and look at why.
