Vincenzo Di Nicola

My 3 passions: Technology, History and Numismatics. And I'm grateful to live in a moment of human evolution where I can contribute to these 3 fields at the same time. I co-founded Conio, leading cryptocurrency company in Italy, to pursue this goal.

In my previous experiences I spearheaded the first wave of mobile payment solutions. From the ground up I envisioned, designed and led breakthrough products and teams still today at the core of some of top tech companies (Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo!), received awards by others (PayPal), and created seamless mobile solutions with the largest US bank (JP Morgan Chase).

I strongly believe in giving back to the community that made me the man I am today. That's why in my spare time I teach Computer Science to High School students of my region, and in the past 10 years I have been giving small competition prizes to entice kids to study Math.

Last but not least, when it comes to Technology, I do "bleed purple". My stay at Yahoo! was very small, but it really shaped the way I build products and culture.
