Luca joined New York Life with the Manhattan General Office in 2021 as a financial professional through the Accelerated Path to Management program, and achieved Executive Council^* in his first year. He was promoted to Associate Partner in 2022, and in 2023 he became a Partner, closing his Associate training experience as first of his class, and winning the AP Leaderboard Challenge.

Before joining New York Life, Luca matured an extensive background in communication: he was a journalist for 15 years, working as embedded reporter in Lebanon, Kosovo and Uganda, then press officer for the Italian government and social media manager for several companies. He then started a successful career in luxury sales after moving to the US from Italy in 2015. He completed his studies in Finance, Economics and Management between 2020 and 2021 with Harvard Business School Online, while he was serving with the National Guard in the COVID-19 mission.

An Army Veteran and US Armed Forces Service Medal recipient, Luca served six years in the New York Army National Guard from 2015 to 2021. He is married to Silvia, an experienced Digital Project Manager: they met in Italy back in 2011, when they were both working in the newsroom of a national newspaper.

He speaks Italian, Spanish and French.
