Ecco una breve introduzione di Riccardo:
“When 13, I started making money online by creating viral Facebook pages and selling advertising posts on them.
When 15, I was selling door-to-door Social Media Marketing services to small and medium-sized businesses in my land, Sicily.
When 16, I wrote a paragraph in a book on Content Marketing published by Hoepli.
When 18, I moved to London to manage the marketing of a Startup that had raised £ 500,000.
When 19, I worked in the marketing unit of OneDay Group (ScuolaZoo, WeRoad etc.), a company with a +30 million turnover and 150 employees.
When 20, I was invited as a speaker at different events of Microsoft, Regione Lombardia, Link Campus University, Coldiretti, BTO 2018 and MIUR.
The same year, in 2019, I co-founded SmartLoops, a Growth Marketing agency.
However, that model wouldn’t suit me. Together with my partner, we decided to shut down the company after 12 months.
After that, I became the 1st employee and Head of Growth of Startup Geeks and I led the company's growth from zero to € 500,000 in revenue in 15 months.
Today I am Growth Manager of Blink, backed by Y Combinator (W21) and part of Techstars' Smart Mobility Accelerator '21 class.
We offer sustainable same-day delivery service for eCommerce companies in Europe." (LinkedIn)
