I studied Computer Science at Harvard University for a Semester and received an Engineering degree, cum laude, from the University of Naples, Italy.

I worked for Procter&Gamble in France, McKinsey in Italy and Comau (Fiat Group) in Brazil/Argentina.

I create Let'sTV, my first company, which was not a big success, but I learnt a lot from that experience.

The second company I created was Tipic Inc., which I sold to the Rizzoli Corriere della Sera Group, one of the largest media company in Italy; at that time, Splinder, the blogging platform that Tipic had developed, had become the largest community site in Italy, with more than 5 million unique users per month.

I was Member of the Board of the Jabber Software Foundation.

With other Italian entrepreneurs, I created 1generation, a not for profit network with the objective of fostering entrepreneurship in Italy.

I speak Italian, English, French and Portuguese. I like reading about Science Fiction, Science, Technology and Economics.
