Giacomo Maggiore

I was born and raised in Milan, and since I was a child, I’ve had a strong passion for numbers, technology and physics.
After high school, I studied Automation Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, spending one semester abroad in Sweden, as an exchange student at Mälardalen University.

Shortly after, I co-founded SceneSnap, a B2B and B2C EdTech startup that develops learning tools by bridging artificial intelligente and data analytics.

During my studies, I deep dived into financial markets and personal finance, reason why I moved to ETH Zurich, where I’m currently pursuing a Master in Economnics, Management & Technology, focusing on the most quantitative and analytically oriented courses.

I’m deeply interested in financial risk management, quantitative and personal finance. Alongside my studies, I work as a research assistant at KOF, the Swiss Economic Institute, where I further strengthen my analytical and research skills.

When I'm not working or studying, you can find me running and cycling.
In 2024 I ran my first marathon and completed my first ultramarathon, sharing my journey on YouTube and Strava.
Beyond running, I enjoy outdoor activities and love to travel in a rough and itinerant way, always looking for unusual and cheap destinations, far from tourist hotspots.
