I am Livio Andrea Acerbo, an Italian entrepreneur and strategic advisor operating at the intersection of technology, finance, and growth. I am based in Milan, and my professional journey has taken me across France and Portugal, shaping a cross-border perspective on markets, capital, and execution. My foundation is engineering; my vocation is entrepreneurship. I think in systems, build in structures, and execute with long-term intent.
For more than twenty years, I have worked in the digital sector, founding and scaling companies in digital media, artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, and performance marketing. I operate in M&A, corporate development, and fundraising, structuring transactions and partnerships that align incentives and create durable value. I am comfortable moving from technical architecture discussions to financial modeling, from product scalability to governance design. I see businesses as dynamic systems where technology, capital, and people must be aligned to compound advantage.
When I evaluate a company or design a new venture, I look beyond surface metrics. I assess technical robustness, automation leverage, data moats, cost structures, and long-term strategic positioning. I care about resilience, not hype; sustainability, not short-term arbitrage. My goal is to build ventures that are ethical, scalable, and profitable—organizations that generate both financial returns and meaningful impact.
I also invest significant energy into AI-driven media and thought leadership initiatives, exploring how artificial intelligence can enhance research, storytelling, and strategic communication. Technology, to me, is a leverage multiplier—when deployed correctly, it expands human capability rather than replacing it.
At my core, I am driven by disciplined ambition. I seek financial independence not for extravagance, but for freedom: the freedom to allocate capital intelligently, to build systems that compound over time, and to operate with clarity, discretion, and long-term strategic focus.
