Giuseppe Folonari is Chief of Operations & Growth at Onde Alte, a social innovation lab dedicated to generating a positive impact through education, innovation, and communication programs.
In his professional life, he’s always been involved in innovation and entrepreneurship: first at Italian Angels for Growth – the largest Business Angels group in Europe – then for several years at H-FARM, where he contributed to the creation and launch of the first acceleration program in Italy (H-Camp) and to some highly successful investments such as Depop (acquired by ETSY for $1.6B).
In 2014, he began his collaboration with AKQA, starting with a business development role in Hong Kong and later back in Italy, creating what would become the European Business Strategy & Transformation team, a new strategy consulting and venture building unit, which he led until 2021.
He was among the founding members of SG DAO, the first accelerator established as a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), and is an active angel investor, particularly in entrepreneurs and companies that enable global freedom of movement.
He’s lived, studied, and worked in 3 different countries, and is currently based in New York.
Despite being a Torino supporter, he’s still passionate about football.
Digital transformation is a complex process at the intersection of strategy, technology, and organization. The course aims to address these three elements both individually—by delving into them through case studies and reviewing practical tools—and by exploring the strong interdependencies among them.
Throughout the lessons, various approaches to transformation will be presented, aiming to cover the full spectrum of strategic options—both internal and external—including guest speakers with significant experience in the field of innovation.
