Evidence
Classify information before forming conclusions. Keep sources traceable, distinguish observations from assumptions, and record what remains uncertain.

A clear
standard of care.
Principles for research, decisions, and the responsibilities that accompany them.
Capital Discipline
Consider drawdowns, liquidity, position size, and resilience through the cycle. A compelling narrative cannot replace a clear understanding of risk.
Independence
Build judgment through work that can be assessed on its own merits. Family history is a source of responsibility; capability must be earned.
Boundaries
Maintain clear distinctions between independent research and formal professional work, including funding, client information, project permissions, and specific data use.
Human Judgment
Use AI to reduce omissions and improve consistency. Technical systems support experience and interpretation; responsibility remains with people.
Review
Prepare concise information before important meetings and keep records after consequential decisions. Review the process as carefully as the outcome.
Responsibility
Support education, research, and philanthropy through transparent budgets, clear accountability, sustained execution, and results that can be evaluated over time.
On decision discipline
“I allow myself to miss opportunities. I do not commit heavily before I understand.”
Cornelia Maria Agnelli
Personal research, family history, and formal professional responsibilities have distinct boundaries.
The independent research organization and my formal professional work inform my perspective in different ways. Funding, client information, project permissions, and specific data use remain clearly separated. Research systems draw on public data, our own research, and authorized information.
This website presents my personal background and research interests. It does not speak on behalf of ICONIQ Capital or any Agnelli family enterprise. My formal role does not include public fundraising or media representation.
