Valerio Cirella

Valerio Cirella was born and raised in Naples, Italy — a city that taught him to think boldly and dream big.

At 26, he made the leap to Dublin, Ireland, where he established himself as a leader in the European technology landscape.

With over twenty years spanning IBM, Accenture, and his own ventures as entrepreneur and investor, he has lived through every major digital transformation of the modern era — not from the sidelines, but at the center of it, developing AI-powered management services and guiding international organisations through change that once seemed unthinkable.

He holds a Master of Science in Management of Information Systems from Trinity College Dublin, one of Europe's most prestigious institutions, and has deepened his expertise with certifications in Professional Digital Selling and Social Selling — at a time when most executives hadn't yet heard the term.

But Valerio is more than a technologist. He is a writer.

His first book, Bittersweet Social Media, established him as a sharp, accessible voice on the human side of digital transformation. Now, with L'Alba della Super-Intelligenza, he turns his analytical lens to the biggest question of our time: what happens when machines become smarter than us — and are we ready?

When he's not studying the future of humanity, you'll find him somewhere in the world he hasn't been yet.
