Andrea Desantis
I hold a master’s degree and the academic title of “dottore” in Electronic Engineering from the Faculty of Information, Computer, and Statistical Engineering at La Sapienza University in Rome, Italy. I am a consultant and researcher with more than 30 years of international experience in information and communications technology (ICT), with a particular focus on systems engineering, software engineering, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity.
I provide consulting services for a wide range of industries, supporting their IT/OT projects with deep knowledge of business environments, requirements, and technical processes.
A key focus of my work in artificial intelligence is leading the Technical-Scientific Committee of one of Italy’s largest trade unions. The committee brings together experts from academia, engineering, law, psychology, neuroscience, statistics, philosophy, and politics (including two former ministers). For over two years, we have driven advanced AI education, collaborated with government agencies on regulation, and supported the union’s organizational transformation through the integration of AI, with a strong focus on ethics, human rights, and change management.
My core strength is the design, planning, and oversight of the implementation of resilient and secure complex mission-critical systems. I am result-oriented, a team player, and an effective communicator at all organizational levels — whether working with executives, technical teams, or business stakeholders.
