Marcel Caraciolo is a seasoned technology executive and entrepreneur with 17 years of experience building digital products across healthcare, biotech, education and sports. As a multi-time founder and former CTO of Genomika—now part of Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein—he led a 10x revenue growth, national expansion and a strategic acquisition while scaling engineering, bioinformatics and lab operations. He blends hands-on Python development and open-source contributions (including recommender-system work on the muricoca/crab project) with senior leadership of 20+ person cross-functional teams and end-to-end product P&L responsibility. His recent roles have focused on cloud, data and infrastructure consolidation for genomics ventures, including large-scale AWS migrations and federated data integrations between healthcare organizations. Marcel pairs agile product strategy and DevOps discipline with practical bioinformatics automation, making him equally at home in clinical labs and backend systems. Outside work he recharges with family time, running (marathon training) and an impressive LEGO habit—small-scale engineering that mirrors his attention to detail.
