About Me
Hi! I'm Enrico. I like to build things, read about how things work, and invest in things that work. I explore stablecoin infrastructure and how money moves, but also the ideas that matter to me: art, philosophy, chess, music, technology, and personal growth.
I was born and raised in Milan, Italy. I have spent most of my adult life studying and working across Europe, America, and Asia. I love traveling and have visited over 44 countries, always discovering unique local cultures.
I've lived in Milan, Rome, Montreux, Bangkok, Vail, London, and currently New York City. My favorite sports are basketball, football, running, hiking and chess.
Professionally, I've spent most of my career building technology products.
Previously I built stablecoin infrastructure at Bridge, helping power the future of global payments. Before that, I led integrations teams at companies like Orbital Finance and TrueLayer. Over the past seven years, the products I've helped build have reached hundreds of millions of users, helped thousands of developers and generated billions in revenue.
I'm passionate about supporting entrepreneurs around the world, with a particular interest in Europe. I'm also beginning my entrepreneurship and investing journey in innovative markets.
I currently live in New York City with my wife, Carlotta, epidemiologist and postdoctoral fellow at NYU, and our cat, Woody.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy reading.
