# Silvia Mancini

Doctor working in internal medicine at a hospital in Milan. Silvia and Luca studied together at Politecnico di Milano before she switched to medicine, and they have maintained a friendship that spans nearly fifteen years. They catch up every few months over dinner or a long walk, and these conversations are valuable to Luca precisely because they are entirely outside the tech world. Silvia provides a grounding perspective on life, work-life balance, and what meaningful work looks like in a completely different profession.

## Notes

- Intellectually sharp and empathetic; the kind of person who listens carefully and asks questions that cut through noise
- Her perspective on burnout, work-life balance, and high-pressure careers is informed by first-hand medical experience
- Luca appreciates that she never asks about his subscriber count or revenue; their friendship operates on a different register
- Occasional running partner when their schedules align; they have done a couple of 10k races together

## Collaborations

- [[event-dinner-family]] — occasional participant in broader friend group gatherings in Milan
