In 2000, I co-founded the first italian firm in e-business consultancy. Our Company, called Altoprofilo -The User Experience Company- was supported by a multimillion venture capital from Pirelli Group (myQube), and we started out in Milan and Boston (in which we located the R&D team, lead by Giuseppe Taibi). At the very beginning, I got the role of Chief Creative Officer and built two different divisions of the company (Creative Staff + HCI department).
