Data Enablement
for VCs & Scale-ups

I’m Alessandro, a data geek, expert generalist, and leader.

I make businesses data-driven by building scalable teams, infrastructures, and processes.

I put people at the centre of data and enable them to make a positive difference.

A PROVEN DATA OPERATING SYSTEM

Fruit of 20 years experience in the data space. Optimized through numerous scale-up cycles

I experienced the realities of dozens of companies in the most diverse domains, from start-ups in the education industry to major software enterprises. I distilled the underlying learnings and knowledge into principles, methodologies, and practices that generalize to any new contexts.

    Data Enablement for Scale-Ups

    I make companies Data-Driven by covering all aspects of data enablement, from tech and infrastructure to hiring and processes.

    I push leaders to see the invisible when it comes to data: the importance of building a strong foundation and its potential to bring organizations closer to success while mitigating risks. By emphasizing the strategic value of robust data practices, I help leaders understand how data can serve as a key driver of innovation and competitive advantage.

    I’m accomplished at scaling data teams and infrastructures, ultimately cultivating a data culture across their organizations, as demonstrated during my tenure at multiple start-ups, including Typeform, Preply, and Moonpay.

  • Prospect Screening & Advising for VCs

    I support VCs along their investment journey. My services are designed to enhance the decision-making process and drive growth across their portfolio.

    I begin by helping VCs evaluate new prospects, assessing potential investments to identify the most promising opportunities. My approach combines rigorous analysis with deep industry knowledge, enabling VCs to make informed decisions with confidence.

    Once investments are made, I further support VCs by implementing my proprietary Data Operating System across their portfolio companies. By optimizing data management and leveraging advanced analytics, I help them streamline their operations, enhance performance, and achieve scalable growth.
