#simple#fast#efficient

I'm finding elegant and fast ways to design and deliver innovations and solutions. My priority is to keep things simple and understandable and keep moving them forward.

Philosophy
#people first
not ai
People are needed to bring on the change. They need to be convinced, enabled, and motivated. Technology and AI are just enablers.

The Plan

Not a rollout of AI everywhere — a golden path for the use cases that earn it, governed end-to-end.

01 · Listen

Get to know people

Questionnaires, 1:1s and research across the business to understand real needs — before proposing a single use case.

02 · Mobilize

Ambassador network

Build a team of ambassadors and send them across the company to surface needs and champion adoption from within.

03 · Define

The golden path

Standardize the pattern for proven use cases — one well-lit path, not a hundred one-off experiments.

04 · Govern

Govern every use case

One governance model, applied consistently — from idea to production, no exceptions.

Not everything needs AI

Part of the plan is saying no. Knowing — and stating clearly — where AI does not belong is as important as defining where it does.

Looking Ahead

Future

Questions I want a CDAIO role to help answer — not just for Generali, but for how the industry works.

01

Revenue per employee

AI broke the old limits here in tech — companies are starting to measure it seriously. Can the same be done in an insurance business?

02

Treat AI agents as people

Train them, enable them, give them feedback — the same discipline we already apply to developing people.

03

Who do you trust more?

Who will be more reliable — who will run a process or task end-to-end better: the person, or the agent?
