Riccardo is deeply passionate about big challenges and is convinced that the best way that we can address those challenges is through the use of technology. 

Riccardo earned an MSc in Economics and Social Sciences from Bocconi University spending part of his college time at Cornell University (Ithaca, New York) and NHH (Bergen, Norway). During his studies his passion drove him to join in the most active students' association within Bocconi University and organize more than 15 conferences. He discussed a thesis demonstrating how freedom of press makes people less willing to rely on Government for redistributive purposes. 

Starting his career working at Citibank, Riccardo co-founded Meritocracy with the ultimate aim of nullifying the waste of talent. Meritocracy has developed a technology that matches the right job-seekers to companies, based on their preferences and philosophy. 

The company deeply invests in image and employer branding for the companies it works with because work is a relevant part of life and life must be beautiful.
