Aline Albertelli

I'm a consultant at KEA, supporting research, bid writing, project management, and strategic communication. Alongside my role at KEA, I serve as the community manager at b.creative, a global network of creative entrepreneurs, where I facilitate connections, coordinate with the Advisory Board, and support creative entrepreneurs on their journey.

I hold a BA in Management for Arts, Culture, and Communication from Bocconi University and an MA in Cultural Economics and Entrepreneurship from Erasmus University Rotterdam. My academic focus includes innovation, public economics, cultural policy, and creative entrepreneurship, exploring how creative entrepreneurs bridge public and private sectors to foster collaboration and social impact.

In addition to my professional roles, I remain actively engaged in academia, co-authoring articles on governance tools to drive creative innovation (public-private partnerships especially) and mentoring students at EUR. Before joining KEA, I worked within the creative sector, gaining experience in artists' studios and creative start-ups. My goal is to continue leveraging this experience to advance research on culture and creativity and its transformative potential.
