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.
