CEO & Founder of ELECTE
Building AI software for business decisions. Writing about AI, power, and human judgment.
About me · ELECTE · AI Frontiers · LinkedIn
I'm the CEO & Founder of ELECTE, an AI-powered analytics company I founded in Milan in 2023.
Before ELECTE, I spent more than a decade in technology systems, working across finance, people, customers, and technical operations before becoming CEO. That experience shaped my approach to software: start with the business problem and build tools that help people solve it.
My work spans product direction, company strategy, and the operations behind building a software business. At ELECTE, we're making forecasting, analysis, and reporting accessible to companies without a dedicated data science team.
I also write about what happens when AI becomes part of how businesses operate: who controls the infrastructure, what data reveals beyond what people disclose, and where automation should leave room for human judgment.
ELECTE helps growing businesses connect their data, understand performance, and make better-informed decisions.
The platform brings together:
- Forecasting and predictive analytics for sales, revenue, and cash flow.
- Dashboards and reporting that turn business data into information teams can use.
- AI-assisted workflows for analysis, report generation, and competitor research.
- Integrations, an API, and MCP connectivity for working with existing tools and AI clients.
ELECTE serves 500+ businesses, with 80% of turnover from international markets, according to our published company figures as of September 2026.

My writing explores AI adoption, business strategy, privacy, platform dependence, and the decisions that remain ours to make.
AI Frontiers is my weekly newsletter on AI, risk, regulation, and market power, published in English and Italian. It reaches 100,000+ subscribers, with a companion podcast.
The ELECTE Quarterly explores one question about artificial intelligence and human judgment per issue, with space for a sustained argument.

This paper examines whether optimization for average human preferences can narrow the creative range of AI outputs. It proposes a Rebel AI framework combining novelty search, adversarial divergent agents, and metacognitive feedback.
