About Leonardo

Founder and CEO of Creativate. I pioneer explainable AI for real-world decisions and build the layer between data and decisions — from boardrooms to production pipelines.

I have built and led ventures in Europe, Africa, and Asia, and think in systems end-to-end: from strategic use cases to model architecture to products that people actually use. My focus is on Decision Intelligence, Systems Thinking, and EU AI Act-compliant AI.

For clients, I am the right sparring partner for AI strategy, feasibility audits, fractional tech/product leadership, or executive workshops. I translate between the board and engineering — and ensure that AI ambition turns into a deliverable plan.
