A published researcher and proven C-level executive with 20+ years of experience, Alessandro co-authored "Decentralised AI as a Public Good — Early Findings", a peer-reviewed paper presented at ICOBAI 2025 alongside professors from Columbia University, MBZUAI, the University of Malta, and the University of Auckland. At HumanAIx, he orchestrates a global research ecosystem spanning 13 Tier-1 Web3 protocols and four leading universities across four continents, directing initiatives in verifiable inference, privacy-preserving compute, and open-source AI infrastructure.
In his current operating roles as CEO of UAPL and VP of Business Development at Universal Assets Bank, a Fintech, Alessandro brings strong institutional relationships across founders, investors, corporates, and financial networks, critical for a summit operating at the intersection of AI, decentralization, and regulation.

His broader track record spans telecommunications, digital marketing, DePIN infrastructure, and crypto exchange leadership, grounded in an MS in Industrial Engineering from Politecnico di Torino. Alessandro's core strength is building trust and coordination between communities that don't naturally collaborate frontier AI researchers, decentralized infrastructure builders, and regulatory stakeholders helping DeAI Summit deliver durable outcomes that continue well beyond the event.
