Federico Francioni is born and raised in Tuscany, and completed his telecommunications engineering studies in Finland and started my professional journey in Milan. He is a digital strategist with more than 12 years of cross-industry management consulting experience. He is exceptionally grateful for the last seven, spent in the inspiring Silicon Valley where I currently live.

His expertise is the combination of a technical education enhanced by passionate knowledge of strategy & operations, user experience, design thinking and emerging technologies. He believes collaboration with diverse mindsets and perspectives is the best way to craft innovative & tangible experiences for all kinds of users.

He loves to get his hands dirty and experiment with new tools and canvases, through continuous iterations. He is passionate about inclusive design and workplace experience, leveraging blogging and podcasting as an outlet to share his thoughts with digital practitioners, creative thinkers and design enthusiasts.

When Federico steps away from his computer, you can find him on a sand court playing beach volleyball, my "well-being addiction" for the last 23 years.

His specialties are: - Digital Strategy - Enterprise Collaboration / Employee Engagement - Future Vision & Innovation Design - User Experience
