Jacopo Romei is an Italian-born agile coach, entrepreneur and author with 15+ years helping teams and organizations in Europe and beyond shift toward value-driven product development. As a co-founder and venture builder he blends hands-on engineering experience (contributions to Symfony CMF and PHPCR tooling) with strategic roles scaling innovation programs at corporate and startup studios. He teaches and speaks internationally on lean workflows, negotiation for knowledge work and organizational governance, and wrote "Extreme Contracts" to rethink how knowledge workers get paid. Based in Paris, he pairs practical software craftsmanship—kernel-space hacking and early crowd-funded open-source work—with a knack for designing experiments that fast-track validated business models.
