Putting Technology to
Public Service.

Build, pioneer, and scale tech programs
across government and business.

Build.

  • Creating the innovation ecosystem of the future requires the best of academia, business, and government. I help businesses become enablers of national strategies, and governments balance precaution with innovation.

  • Customer obsession, culture of candor, and relentless optimization. With these ingredients I built top-performing teams. Now I bring them to organizations because operational excellence means better outcomes.

  • Policymaking is too often a tennis match between competing interests. I approach it as a relay race, brokering a space where innovation is a common pursuit among allies. To do so, I leverage my experience as a civil servant in tech, and a techie in government.

  • I invest in DeepTech and GovTech companies, with a positive bias towards public sector impact.

  • Featured Talks: World Economic Forum; AWS Summit; Transatlantic Digital Forum; United Nations; NATO.

  • “Analytical and pragmatic, honest and bold, curious and decisive, strategic and creative… Leo was core to the leadership of the European Commission’s first-of-its-kind think tank. He navigated institutional complexity like a seasoned civil servant, while injecting innovative thinking in the administration.”

    Ann Mettler, VP Europe, Breakthrough Energy and
    former Director-General, European Commission

  • "Leonardo sets himself apart for strategic thinking, brokering unlikely coalitions, and building high-performing teams. He is the purpose-driven, inventive, and entrepreneurial leader that every modern organization needs."

    Manuel Muñiz, Provost, IE University;
    former Secretary of State for Global Spain

  • "Leonardo has unique cross-sector experience, wit, and deep thinking. He has been our compass in navigating these transformative times. "
