Bio
Italian by blood and NewYorker by soul, Paola is a Marketing Exec who has been working at the intersection of technology & culture on a global scale for 15+ years. After starting her career with a number of internships in the entertainment space (DreamWorks, Warner Music, SXSW), she joined Google as one of the earliest marketers in the company. Here she helped launch and scale, over the course of a decade (2006-2017), some of today’s biggest consumer tech products (Chrome, Android, Maps and Play) from inception up to 1B+ user, driving brand strategy/comms and growth marketing activations internationally — from producing Google’s Super Bowl Ads to running immersive digital experiences in Tokyo’s Shibuya crossing. As first and lead marketer on Google’s own entertainment platform, she also spearheaded for the company multiple creative tech collaborations with cult names in music, cinema, sports and fashion - from the Chemical Brothers, Christopher Nolan and Queen, all the way out to D&G, RollingStone Magazine, FIFA and the Olympics, among others. Ever since jumping over to Startup Land a few years back, and after spending a year traveling around the globe while studying up on neuroscience, languages and coaching, Paola has split her time between holding exec marketing roles in tech scale-ups, coaching/mentoring startup founders and young tech recruits, and advising+collaborating with innovative and mission-driven companies in hot consumer spaces spanning from BIPOC beauty (EADEM) to the Web3 world (Harmony / Timeless). A lover of music, travel and food, in her spare time she can usually be found either obsessively attempting to recreate one of her grandma’s magic food recipes (to no avail), or dancing at some unknown music festival in a remote corner of the world. One of the two.
