Meet the one who jumped on the ship
Emanuele is a Service Designer with a double master's degree from Politecnico di Milano and Tongji University in Shanghai.
He began his career as a design director at an industrial design consultancy before moving to Fjord (part of Accenture) in Hong Kong, where he helped establish their first team in Asia.
After being promoted to Design Director, Emanuele faced a love/hate relationship with design leadership, realising that traditional consultancies often require leaders to prioritise client management over their craft. This led him to pursue an in-house role.
Emanuele has worked across various industries, including healthcare and financial services, joining J.P. Morgan Chase in London as VP of Service Design to support the launch of Chase, the bank's first digital offering. He later joined the design strategy team in New York.
Emanuele is now focusing on fractional design leadership, an essential role in today’s business environment and startups. This approach allows companies to access expert design guidance on a flexible basis, fostering innovation while maintaining agility.
Additionally, he supported the creation of a new comic book on Service Design written by Marzia Aricò as an official reviewer.
