I am a serial entrepreneur, VC and corporate strategy executive with a proven track-record, institutional calibre, relational ability and strategic acumen with over twenty years of professional experience from London insurance services to the technological sector.
During these many years, I have endeavoured in many ventures spacing from technology to renewable energy, farming and consumer goods. This arduous process allowed me to realise the fundamental trends in action, changes that are not only a matter of technical knowledge but also a socio-cultural shift, which needs vision, empathy and mediation's skills. My passion for disruptive technology platforms such as Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Autonomous Vehicles, DNA sequencing, and Robotics lays on the absolute belief that designing strategies and innovative business models based on a consumer-centric approach are fundamental to drive innovation and long term sustainability.
Today, my main focus is Public Pressure, an NFT music marketplace I cofounded in March 2021, with Giulia Maresca, Francesca Versace and Alfredo Violante.
I am incredibly proud of the contribution I brought to blockchain regulation and adoption at the Republic of San Marino Innovation Institute, a private company owned by the "Serenissima" Republic of San Marino and incorporated to guide the Parliament and the Government on innovation policies, which I served as Chairman, CEO and Director of the Scientific Committee. I had the privilege to develop the national innovation and digital strategy; the "San Marino Blockchain" legislation (passed in Parliament on 6 June 2019); work closely with Institutional Organisations (OECD, IMF, MISE) and diplomatic representatives (President of Albania, US Consul General in Florence, Ambassador of Israel in Rome) to articulate strategic partnerships. Amongst all the accomplishments, I am immensely proud of the Memoranda of Understanding together with DNV GL Business Assurance Group and VeChain Foundation for the Low Carbon Ecosystem Project" which shows the virtuousness of Public and private working together to foster innovation aimed at resolving climate change and implementing rewarding public policies rather than punishing.
When I'm not on the job, I love being a father and husband. I am an obsessed skier and golfer, I indulge my passion for good food and wine with friends and travelling.
