Benedetta Arese Lucini was born in Milano, and graduated in International Economics at the University of Bocconi. She began her career in Investment Banking at Morgan Stanley in London. She then decides to move to New York for a Master in Business Administration at NYU Stern School of Business, specialising in Technology, Media and Entertainment. Here she was able to grow her passion for indie movies and her love for tech startups. Once she graduates, she decides to move to the centre of tech on the west coast, and in Credit Suisse she works on taking many sturtups to the public market. She felt ready for a new adventure, and decides to move to Malaysia, to head the Operations of an e-commerce company of the Rocket Internet Group, Zalora, that was just recently launched in the South East Asia market. After nearly 10 years of diverse international experiences and a baggage of new skills she returns to Italy to work as the Italian General Manager in Uber where she manages the expansion of Uber thorough Italy and the launch of new products, like the peer-to-peer solution. The amazing knowledge and exposure she gained from the experience in Uber was a driver for Benedetta to start something new. With Oval money she wants to tackle another highly regulated industry and build a product that allows everyone to access financial products, usually open to a few, by adapting these to user habits, through the use of behaviour data.
