I lead global marketing and communications for enterprise organizations — demand generation, performance marketing, account-based marketing, event marketing, and executive communications. Over 12+ years across global enterprises and top agencies, I've run integrated campaigns for major international brands, built editorial governance for large-scale communications programs, and designed and shipped an AI-powered communications system recognized with 1st place in Siemens' NEO.CM Artificial Intelligence Innovation Masterclass.

Before marketing, I studied Sociology of Media & Communication (Federico II, Naples) — a thesis on how media narratives get constructed and whose voice gets amplified or erased. That training is where the method on this site comes from: a habit of asking who benefits from a belief before accepting it, then checking it against what I've actually built and shipped.

I'm not interested in following whatever's trending in marketing or AI. I'm interested in the harder question underneath it — and I write about that question as often as I can back it with something real.
