VENTURE & ECOSYSTEM

AI STRATEGY

Design and activate innovation ecosystems that connect startups, corporates, and institutions to generate real deal flow.

I design acceleration programs and open innovation platforms that create value for every stakeholder involved. From startup selection to matchmaking with corporates and investors, I manage the entire cycle: strategy, stakeholder alignment, execution, and impact measurement. I led the Lake Como Venture Lab for Confindustria and Politecnico di Milano, generating 15 media features and meaningful connections between deep tech and industry.

From defining the ideal customer profile to fundraising: positioning, narrative, activation channels, and end-to-end fundraising management.

I design the entire growth journey: from market intelligence and ICP definition to positioning, communication, branding, and activation events. When it’s time to raise capital, I prepare pitch decks, reharsal, investor mapping, and support the team through to closing. I’ve brought tech products to market in environments ranging from 70,000-employee corporations to early-stage startups, and supported fundraising rounds from pre-seed to Series A totaling more than €10M. Certified in Investor Relations at Euronext Academy.

Turn AI into measurable business value: from identifying opportunities to building a strategic roadmap for your organization.

I bridge the gap between technology and business. I help C-level executives and boards understand where AI can create real value within their organizations - without hype, without solutions searching for problems. I start with an opportunity assessment, identify high-impact use cases, and build a realistic roadmap with timelines, costs, and KPIs. My advantage is speaking both languages: I’ve worked with AI startups from product to market, and with billion-euro corporations on digital transformation.
