Summary
Stefano Crosta is a seasoned software leader with 13+ years building and scaling security-focused software, currently VP Software Development at MARSS where he led the company’s growth from a niche superyacht supplier to a global C2 leader. He combines hands-on architecture and development (Python, JavaScript, C++/Java) with product strategy, HR and customer-facing responsibilities for complex maritime and critical-infrastructure systems. His background spans startups, R&D and academia—co-founding a security startup, serving as CTO for a web-mashup company, and managing EU-funded research in networking and security at Eurecom. Passionate about machine learning and privacy-preserving security, he brings research-grade rigor to practical product delivery and enjoys exploring new languages and technologies beyond his day job. An unspoken strength is bridging deep technical design with real-world operational constraints in high-stakes environments.
