Business Development consultant assisting international vendors entering the european telco and media market.
Started my career in Satellite TV with the startup of the worlds first fully digital TV network, Orbit.
I then moved to internet startups joined first Kataweb owned by Gruppo L'Espresso and then Rai Net (Internet play for Italy's State Broadcaster).
I could not live without mobile tech so I joined KelyanLab (later re-named to Xaltia) a startup active in the early days of mobile app and platform development, the company grew in size and was sold after 8 years to one of Italy's leading System Integrators, that was an exit !!
Lots of time to think and many interesting ideas coming so by 2011 I joined the Pick1 team as Founder and first Angel Investor. The company received its first seed round in August 2012 from Angel Investors in Chile, a second investment came from Dave McClure, 500 Startups (500.co)
Since then I have been evaluating many different ideas and startups, when I can I give my advise and help find venture partners.
Joined the @Stamplay team as Investor and Advisor, its my foot the API economy !
Investor in @LoopAI team based in SF.
Part of the @Dottori.it team.
