Stefano Potorti

Founder & CEO

I am Stefano Potortì, the proud founder of Sagitter Training, dedicated to empowering young Italian students aspiring to study or gain work experience abroad. Having called London home for 20 years, my journey is deeply rooted in sustainability and enhancing essential soft skills among the youth, such as Time Management, Stress Management, and Adaptability.

I firmly believe in the transformative potency of networking and teamwork, subscribing to the philosophy that collective efforts yield innovative solutions. My mission is more than preparing the youth for the future; it’s about molding them into resilient and adaptable individuals, ready to flourish in varying environments and adeptly navigate the complexities of our modern world. Through Sagitter Training, I aspire to be a guiding light, inspiring a passion for exploration, learning, and innovation in every young mind we touch.

Leonardo Andrés Ancebú

I’m Leo Ancebú. Proud Business Development Manager at Sagitter Training, I’m deeply passionate about languages and the richness of global cultures.

My career has been a testament to the power of collaboration, the resilience to push boundaries, and the clarity of vision in manifesting aspirations.

It’s my hope that with my guidance, they not only thrive in their personal lives but also make a positive impact in their communities. After all, the foundation of growth and change lies in a genuine desire to learn and the will to make it happen.

Agnese Tagliavini

Operations Director for UK and Ireland

Greetings, I’m Agnese, Senior Project Manager for the UK and Ireland, and currently based in London.

My journey into the field of education began in 2012 when I arrived in London for an Erasmus project. Since then, I’ve remained deeply passionate about education.

Choosing to call London my home has had a profound impact on me. It has broadened my horizons, exposed me to new cultures, introduced me to diverse individuals, challenged my beliefs, and expanded my understanding of various concepts. Along the way, I’ve also learned to embrace new challenges, including adapting to London’s occasional rain and its punctuality expectations.

What truly makes my experience remarkable at Sagitter Training is the privilege of being a part of a dynamic and diverse team, which I cherish with great enthusiasm.

Luca Galdi

Director of Barcelona Office

I’m Luca, the Director of Sagitter Training’s Barcelona office, with a foundation in Communication Sciences from the University of Salerno.

Once a dedicated freelance journalist in Campania, I moved to London in 2012, when I started my work with Sagitter Training.

My dedication has always been towards nurturing young talents, spearheading projects like the “Ambassadors of Taste” in collaboration with esteemed institutions. Since 2012, I’ve been deeply involved in European projects, emphasizing the power of collaboration and community.

With Sagitter Training and the Compagnia Teatrale Italiana Di Barcellona (which I’m also Founder and Director), my goal is to shape the young generation, encouraging exploration, creativity, and resilience in the face of the ever-evolving global landscape.

Francesco Avezzano

Project Manager

Hello everyone, I’m Francesco and I’m a Junior Project Manager for Sagitter Training Spain.

I was born in Naples but have always had a deep passion for traveling and discovering cultures and customs different from my own. This passion has led me to see many different countries and took me away from my birthplace for a while. I first moved to Ireland for an educational and work experience on this wonderful green island, and later to Barcelona, the city where I currently live and ensure the best experience for students here. Reach out if you’d like some advice on making a change in your life!

Laura Crocè

Project Manager / Support

I live in Italy and I am passionate about the English language. My life is a blend of exploration and connection. I enjoy travelling and discovering new places and cultures, and this passion and curiosity are reflected in my work.

At Sagitter Training, I enthusiastically provide internal and external support to colleagues and clients. Collaborating in a team is my driving force, and I find great satisfaction in making a positive contribution to others. My life is a continuous journey of growth, where the desire to learn and contribute to the professional sphere merges into a rewarding path.

Alessia Villano

Personal Advisor

I’m Alessia, originally from Turin, but my journey has taken me across continents, living extensively in Europe and South America.

For over 15 years, I’ve been engrossed in education and training, a profession I deeply cherish.

When not working, family is my haven, and I treasure moments with friends. Whenever possible, I lace up for a run, a passion nurtured over years that’s brought immense joy. While I’m driven and grounded, I remain discreet yet ever-ready to lend a helping hand.

Francesca Antoci

Personal Advisor

Hello, I’m Francesca. For many years, I’ve dedicated my career to education and international training—a field I’m deeply passionate about because it puts people, ideas, and potential at the center.

I’ve had the privilege of living and working in Spain, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Each of these experiences has shaped me profoundly, enriching me not only professionally but also personally. Every culture I’ve encountered has left a lasting impression, and I believe that embracing such journeys is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves.

I’m always eager to explore new opportunities, challenge myself, and collaborate with others to create projects that drive meaningful impact. For me, the value of human connection is the true force behind any path of growth, and I believe work gains real purpose only when it’s rooted in authentic relationships.

Over time, I’ve also learned that professional growth goes hand in hand with balance in our personal lives. That balance is essential—it’s what allows us to give our best, to be fully present in each moment, and to build lasting relationships that truly matter.

Ester Tancredi

Junior Project Manager

Hello everyone! I’m Ester, a proud Puglian by origin, but a citizen of the world since 2016!

Working at Sagitter Training is a way for me to continue my journey of exploration. It all began with my first solo trip abroad to England when I was just 17 years old. That initial experience ignited my passion for traveling the world. Since then, airports have become my “home” as I’ve visited countless new destinations, each offering incredible opportunities for growth, learning, and connection.

Learning foreign languages has been an integral part of both my academic and daily life. Over the past seven years, I’ve had the privilege of living in seven different countries.

I deeply connect with students, empathizing with their emotions and understanding the challenges they face. For this reason, my simple yet meaningful goal is to make their experience abroad special, enriching, and positive, just as mine have been.

Federica Spicuzza

Junior Project Manager

I am a Sicilian abroad, but I didn’t leave the sun at home — I carry it within me!

Scopri di più

Empathy is my compass, the common thread that shapes how I interact with others. It’s also what connects me to students: I strive to understand them, motivate them, and ignite that “hunger” that will drive them to achieve their goals.

Traveling is my window to the world, but postcards aren’t enough for me—I want to meet people, absorb stories, and embrace different perspectives. I love cinema, and with little success (but great determination), I try to transfer this passion to reading—an endeavor that, for now, feels as challenging as finishing a movie without checking my phone at least once.

Describing myself is complicated because I am never the same: I change, I discover, I reinvent myself. Every day is a new chapter, and I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds.
