Manolo sold the start-up Qurami, the first mobile queuing app he co-founded in 2011.

BA in International Business, Honours in Corporate Finance, Manolo went back to study in his 30’s to master storytelling techniques and to have a deep-dive into Futures Sciences. His role of Chief Business Development Officer, led him to sit at several relevant tables dealing with players such as prime ministers, international delegations, public and private investors and C-Level decision-makers.

Convinced that deal-making is as much about narration as negotiation, he keeps lectures of “Decisional Storytelling” at Scuola Holden in Turin. He’s also an inventor with successfully granted patents.

As a start-up advisor, he loves to remember one of his favourite motto: “Colombo left for the Indies then, accidentally, he discovered the Americas”.
