I was born in a really (really...) small town near Padova, in Veneto County, Italy. I grew up as many children of my generation: playing in the fields and running in the woods. There were no PCs in the houses, then.
Since I was a child my attention was easily caught by numbers and music. I think that the first piece I knew the title of was Beethoven 3rd Symphony. It was an old vinyl edition directed by Herbert Von Karajan and I made it clear to my father that I wanted to play that black big thing of wood we still have in the hall. Yes dad, that thing with a looong row of black and white keys.
When I wasn't playing, I was learning something and Mathematics was the lover to whom I've been faithful all life long. After taking formal education in the subject I loved (I'm a Master of Science) I started to work as a researcher at the Nuclear Physics National Institute, in Italy.
Unexpectedly and quite in hurry, my experience as a researcher came to a sudden end and I found myself working as a consultant at Accenture's Financial Services industry. Accenture was a big adventure which gave me a great deal of experience. It probably is, still, the period of my life in which I learned the greatest number of things in the shortest time.
During my experience in Accenture fate wanted that I moved to Madrid, Spain, and after working more or less one year in the cities of Zaragoza and Barcelona, I finally settled down in the capital.
While in Madrid, I moved to a Spanish company, Indra Sistemas. Indra's core business still is defense technology but it's trying to open its way into financial services solutions. Since 2006 until late 2008 I was assigned as Chief Java Architect in a group that was building a core business solution from scratch commissioned by the third Spanish bank group (in order of revenues).
Many times during my life I dreamt about starting up my own business and the right moment arrived when I shared this wish with some of the colleagues I appreciated most. The dream finally come true: I left my former employer and Consulting Reacts was born.
