Riccardo Iaconelli is a seasoned technology leader and Managing Director with 20 years of experience uniting engineering teams, public institutions and startups around open source and decentralisation. He combines deep hands‑on technical roots dating back to 2004 with executive roles shaping national digital strategy—most notably helping design Italy’s open source procurement framework now embedded in public software practice. Riccardo has led developer experience and decentralisation programs at Qredo, scaled developer communities at Developers Italia to 30,000 members, and founded and grew WikiToLearn from 2 to 500 contributors. Comfortable at the intersection of product, policy and operations, he has delivered large-scale public hackathons, award-winning developer portals and critical protocol releases for multi-billion dollar custody systems. Known as a public speaker and mentor, he often brings research-grade rigor from collaborations with CERN and Mozilla into pragmatic, impact-first delivery.
