My name is Matteo. I’m a San Francisco-based, mission-driven technical founder and software engineering leader passionate about building ambitious projects that improve people’s lives.
I’m currently the Director of Software Engineering for a new initiative at Spring Health. In the past, I co-founded and served as CTO of Curio, a health tech startup focused on psychedelic-assisted mental health care. I’ve also built and advised early-stage companies, particularly in health and wellness, helping founders navigate the unique challenges of launching and scaling mission-driven ventures. At LinkedIn, I led engineering teams for new business lines and helped create mindfulness and emotional intelligence programs that reached over 16,000 employees globally.
Through this newsletter, I share personal insights, experiences, and bold ideas at the intersection of health & wellness, technology, and leadership.
