Gianpaolo Riva

With over 20 years of experience at the intersection of technology and business, I specialize in executive advisory, strategic business development, and governance services, helping enterprises successfully navigate digital transformation and achieve sustainable growth.
Throughout my career, I've led diverse teams and managed complex projects, evolving from technical roles into strategic advisory positions.
I leverage this broad experience to align technology solutions with business objectives, ensuring operational excellence and optimized performance for enterprise clients.
As the founder of a SaaS startup, NodeCM.io—a no-code platform simplifying IoT data workflows—I gained invaluable insights into entrepreneurship, product development, and market strategies.
This entrepreneurial journey has enhanced my capability to mentor startups and support business innovation initiatives through collaborations with Polihub, Startupbootcamp, and Gellify.
I hold an Executive Master in Management from Polimi GSOM, with expertise in digital transformation, analytics, and Industry 4.0, and have contributed as a co-trainer in Business Transformation courses.
My core areas of expertise include:

- Executive Advisory: Cloud Competence Center, Cloud Governance, Operating Model, IT Portfolio, AI Governance & Automation
- Business Development & Transformation: Sales Strategy, Negotiation, Coaching & Mentorship, AI Business Integration
- Technology: Cloud Architecture, FinOps, DevOps, Software Governance
