Alessandro Perilli
At the bleeding edge of technology, helping world innovators and dreamers.
Alessandro Perilli
I am a contrarian thinker with 23 years of business and product experience in the enterprise IT industry.

I have a track record in identifying (before most) hugely profitable markets and new use cases for emerging technologies. I also have a track record in identifying over-hyped emerging technologies that eventually have little to no business impact.

I'm currently focused on the following emerging technologies and future markets:

  • Generative artificial intelligence
  • Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) and Finance (DeFi)
  • Human body augmentation
I'm an expert in business and product strategy for the following areas:

  • Enterprise IT governance for on-premises and cloud management
  • Security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR)
  • Event-driven automation and machine learning for self-healing IT environments
  • Open source innovation
So far, I've been a:

  • Tech executive, focused on business and product strategy for Red Hat
  • Advisory Board member for the European Commission initiative HORIZON CLOUD
  • Global analyst, leading research in private cloud computing for Gartner
  • Entrepreneur in the media industry as the founder of virtualization.info
  • Advisor to Fortune Global 2000 companies
  • Co-author of the Cloud Computing Risk Assessment for the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA)
  • Author of a cybersecurity book for Arnoldo Mondadori Editore
  • Creator of one of the first ethical hacking trainings in the world for Mondadori Informatica
Also, I am:

  • Founder of the H+ research project about human body augmentation technologies
  • Inventor: US Patent 10778701 - Mitigating cyber-attacks by automatically coordinating responses from cyber-security tools
  • Keynote speaker for 20 years in a row
  • Art collector and former corporate sponsor for Tate
