Summary
Alessandro Alinone is a serial founder and CEO with nearly three decades of experience designing and commercializing real-time data and event-driven systems from Milan. He founded Lightstreamer, a market-leading "last-mile" streaming platform deployed by NASA, Morgan Stanley and Sony, and now leads Now4real, a SaaS product that turns webpages into instant communities to boost engagement. Twice recognized by Gartner as a Cool Vendor, he blends deep distributed-systems engineering with product strategy, sales and go-to-market execution to deliver technologies that scale to hundreds of millions of users. Unusually for a CEO, he remains hands-on in architecture and holds a background in computer engineering plus general management, which helps him translate cutting-edge streaming research into reliable, production-grade products.
