Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGianni Cuozzo is a cybersecurity entrepreneur and CEO with 11 years of experience building mission-driven companies that secure firmware and hardware at the lowest levels. As founder and leader of Exein S.p.A., he has pioneered middleware-style security that embeds like a “vaccine” into firmware, combining aerospace-grade rigor, project management discipline, and new-business acumen. He also chairs Aspisec, leveraging deep expertise in penetration testing, ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS contexts to shape defensive strategy across industrial, financial and medical systems. Gianni blends hands-on technical vision with policy experience—having advised the Italian Senate on startup labor rules—and brings a pragmatic, prevention-first mindset to product and organizational design. Based in Rome and alumnus of Stanford GSB executive programs, he cultivates diverse teams focused on proactive, integrated defenses rather than reactive fixes.
