At Decentra Group we are innovators bringing impact ideas into reality - My focus is on Web3, DePIN, Sustainability, Blockchain, Smart Cities, ESG, and Green Data.

I am the Co-Founder and CEO of Silencio - A community-powered DePIN network that rewards users for providing hyper-local noise pollution data with their smartphones. Noise pollution ranks as the second most harmful environmental exposure to public health worldwide and is responsible for an estimated 5 Trillion cost to global GDP. We want to become the biggest citizen science project in the world and positively impact the quality of lives of millions.

I started my focus on green data by becoming a large-scale deployer of decentralized Web 3.0 networks creating hyperlocal focused on Air Quality and Weather Data across 5 major European cities.

I am a firm believer that hyperlocal green data will enable us to rethink our approach to some of the world's biggest problems, provide us with unique insights and solutions, and improve the quality of life of billions of people across the globe. Decentralized Infrastructure Networks are going to change the world we know today.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Economics and Finance from Bocconi University and a Master's degree in Management from IE University. In addition, I successfully completed a Blockchain Strategy Program at the Säid Business School at Oxford University. Before joining the Green Data industry full time I worked 6 years at Moeller IP Advisors as Junior Partner, a law firm that specializes in Intellectual Property in emerging market economies.

I enjoy mountaineering, learning, polo, hydroponic farming, and droning. I am always looking to challenge myself with adventurous remote expeditions.
