I help good things scale.

I work where technology, sales and people meet - turning complex needs into products customers adopt, businesses that grow and communities people want to be part of.

Francesco Bonadiman

Tech by nature, business at heart, with a bias for getting things done.

My background spans computer science, human-computer interaction, product development and enterprise sales. This mix helps me move between decision-makers, engineers and customers, turning different perspectives into clear decisions.

Over the years, I have helped scale SaaS and data-driven products, managed and expanded a portfolio of enterprise clients, and built technology communities from the ground up. I value transparency, clarity and long-term, sustainable growth.

I studied computer science before completing a double master’s degree in human-computer interaction and design, with a minor in innovation and entrepreneurship, in Paris and Berlin.

A tech business at scale, and a community from scratch.

Speck&Tech APS

Building one of Northern Italy’s leading tech communities

I co-founded and lead Speck&Tech, a non-profit community that has grown since 2016 into one of Northern Italy’s leading platforms for technology, science and innovation. We have organised more than 100 events for audiences of 100-350 people, often collaborating with renowned research institutions and tech companies. Our format combines accessible but rigorous talks with genuine community building - followed, inevitably, by speck, focaccia and beers.

Usually somewhere outdoors.

I live in Trento with my family. You’ll often find me running, cycling or hiking in the mountains. When I’m not outdoors, I’m probably playing strategy and engine-building board games - or planning the next big event or trek.

Let's have a chat.

I’m always happy to talk about new roles, projects and ideas - or just meet interesting people. Coffee, beer or a walk in the mountains all work for me.
