A professional bio
Early 2000s: I started my career in the music industry and worked as a product manager for the historical recording series “Via Asiago, 10”. This is where I began experimenting with digital technology, which I transitioned to a few years later.
As a Pioneer: I worked in the digital sector for an ADV dealer, releasing projects for Paramount, Universal Pictures, Sony Pictures, and more.
In 2010: I started my first company from scratch and, with Kiver (now Mondadori Group), launched the first influencer blog network in Italy.
In 2012: I founded DOYOUAPP, a startup based in London that designed mobile experiences for Samsung, Mondadori, and IWC. A DOYOUAPP project was acquired by a fund two years later.
In the timeframe 2014-2019: I co-founded and led Dot Farm and Flick on Food, companies focused on digital and immersive experiences. We worked with Cisco, Intesa SanPaolo, Mondadori, and many other big firms.
In 2020: I was in charge of leading the Italian Startup Community for Microsoft, launching accelerators and sustainability impact initiatives with partners.
From 2022:I am in charge at URBI (Telepass Group) to support the evolution of the mobility industry and contribute to MaaS4Italy projects funded by the PNNR fund.
My life has been filled with things to do.This journal is to gather them, to better understand myself as well as decipher what I have experienced.
