New Technologies

The European Innovation Academy 2019 in Turin involved me more than usual this time: apart from taking the role of Head Of Mentors, I gave two speeches before the crowd of students, teachers, and mentors.

The picture below refers to a slide from the keynote “New Technologies” which, according to one of the Program Managers, was “a mix of frontier technologies, memes, gifs and fundamental thoughts about the future – it is captivating, fun and thought-provoking”.

Slides are available here.

CTO Bootcamp

Codemotion in collaboration with Facebook organized a series of webinars on how to become the best Chief Technology Officer.

The 3.5 hours speech on Tech Team Management covered different topics, such as the role as the CTO as a technical lead, metrics, software lifecycle, eXtreme Programming and Test-Driven Development, being a project manager, and license management.

The outcome was an enthusiastic feedback, which was then officially scaled down for some reason. But you know it, we don't do it for the glory ;)

Slides are available here.
