Professional Experience:
Domenico started his career with the Italian civil service, being involved among others in the implementation of the public financial management reform in Italy at the end of the 1990s. His subsequent 2-and-a-half-year stint in the United Nations systems includes senior positions in the United Nations Development Program and the United Nations Department of Peace Operations, where he mainly worked on fragile and conflict-affected states in Africa, and the economic dimensions of peace agreements. As an independent consultant, Domenico provided economic, financial, statistical and econometric support to clients such as the European Commission, the European Investment Bank, the Green Climate Fund, USAID, FCDO (forner DFID), the International Organization of Migration, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the United Nations Department of Peace Operations, Integrity Global, the International Budget Partnership, the Center for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces, and the Adventist Development and Relief Association, and has performed short- or medium-term advisory assignments in over 30 countries. For the last seven years, he has been sector economist with the International Finance Corporation (World Bank Group), based first in the USA and later in Pakistan, working mainly on manufacturing and agriculture or forestry investments, and supporting the roll-out of the IFC impact assessment tool, the Anticipated Impact Measurement and Monitoring (AIMM). Among his most substantive areas of work, climate finance and industrial decarbonization have taken center stage, as well as the sustainability of global supply chains. He has also mentored younger professionals with the University of Geneva (Switzerland), and with MyJobGlasses, a French e-mentoring platform.
