Andrea studied Corporate Finance at LUISS Guido Carli in Rome, where he discovered blockchain & delved into Bitcoin in 2017. This sparked his interest not only in financial applications but also in social and behavioral economics implications. During his studies, he learnt about traditional finance (TradFi) while comparing it with the emerging decentralized finance (DeFi) sector.

Andrea’s career includes roles at LUISS Junior Enterprise (JELU), Accenture, and PwC Italy’s Blockchain Competence Center. As a Senior Blockchain Consultant, he led projects on digital asset custody, tokenization, and crypto payments, contributing to institutional papers for the future on-chain asset management industry.

Known for his accountability and collaborative attitude, Andrea thrives in highly demanding, motivating environments. His passions include sports (football and CrossFit), DeFi, startups, long-distance travels and crypto conferences.
