Giovanni Marano
With solid roots in Basilicata, he has studied and worked in various places around the world, drawing inspiration from each one: Siena, Umeå, Rome, Dublin, New York, Los Angeles. “You don’t enjoy the seven or seventy-seven wonders of a city, but the answer it gives to your question” (Italo Calvino).
A lover of resilience and an admirer of endurance, he is drawn to ultra-resistance sports and constantly in search of the next extreme challenge. He enjoys exploring the world with humor, curiosity, and a touch of surrealism, all while balancing on the delicate edge of scientific pragmatism.
Currently based in Los Angeles, California, where he works as Senior Director of Analytics at FanDuel.
Matteo Iannucci
Born and raised in Ciociaria, I moved to Rome to study Statistical Sciences. I then lived in Sweden, Austria, and Argentina before relocating to the United States for eight years. In America, I launched new businesses and served as Vice President at FanDuel, a leader in the online sports betting market. In my work, I have both managed various analytics teams and held other managerial positions. What sets me apart professionally is my ability to combine an analytical approach with a holistic understanding of the business, always striving to bring innovation and pragmatism to every project.
In 2023, together with my wife and our three children, we decided to return to Rome to rediscover life and work in Italy. This decision marks a new chapter in my journey, where I combine the desire to live in a more familiar context with the wish to make a small contribution to our struggling country.
Passionate about international politics, I feel a deep connection to the peoples fighting for their freedom, like the Ukrainian people!
