Marco Palombi
As an entrepreneur and the creator of Italy’s largest social media platform, I am now focused on building a user-centric content ecosystem. This project is rooted in Geneosophy, a verifiable model of human intelligence, offering a distinct alternative to traditional AI. I am naturally drawn to subjects that lack codified descriptions; consequently, my work thrives in the 'undefined,' exploring territories where clear definitions have yet to be established.
My academic background includes a degree in Engineering, cum laude, from the University of Naples and a semester of Computer Science at Harvard University. I began my career with a global perspective, working for Procter & Gamble in France, McKinsey in Italy, and the Fiat Group in South America.
My entrepreneurial journey began with Let’sTV, an early venture that provided invaluable lessons before being acquired by a mid-sized firm. My second company, Tipic Inc., was born from the vision I outlined in my essay, The Lonely Net. It was eventually acquired by RCS (Rizzoli Corriere della Sera), one of Italy’s media giants. Under Tipic, we developed Splinder, which grew to become the largest blogging platform and community site in Italy.
Beyond my ventures, I served on the Board of the Jabber Software Foundation and co-founded 1generation, a non-profit dedicated to fostering the Italian startup ecosystem. After successfully spawning numerous entrepreneurial projects, 1generation concluded its mission having made a lasting impact on the industry.
I speak Italian, English, French and Portuguese.
I read sci-fi, science, philosophy and economics.
I live in London/Digital Nomad.
