About me
As a manager, I introduced Altavista in Italy and then launched Google, where I served as Country Manager for Spain and Portugal as well.
In 2009, I evolved into entrepreneurship and investing by founding Annapurna Ventures, a next-generation seed fund. I later co-founded United Ventures, which has become the leading venture capital fund in Italy's tech sector. Additionally, I served as a civil servant on the Government Task Force that drafted Italy's innovation and startup legislation.
Married to Maura, I am a father of four. I cycle seven thousand kilometers a year and am a passionate blues guitarist. I live in Milan and practice regenerative agriculture in the hills of Monferrato.

Fuori dal gregge. Il pensiero divergente che crea innovazione, Milano, Egea, 2018
Out of the Herd. Divergent Thinking That Creates Innovation
Divergent thinking arises from dissatisfaction with the status quo or the intuition of an unexpressed possibility. It becomes the engine of change if it finds the strength, courage, and conditions to break the mold. To realize its potential, it must find a density of knowledge, talent, and capital capable of attracting the boldest and most innovative initiatives. This ability to create a favorable ecosystem becomes the seed of a country's renewal.
