Star Trek is inevitable, and humanity is going to build it.

I am Leandro. This is my digital shed: a place where I can leave a trace of some of the things that excited me during a +20y path as a technology designer.

Head of Innovation Programs @Innovit  |  https://innovitsf.com/about/ 
The Italian Government acceleration outpost in Silicon Valley.


> Head of Design @Fyberloom (Ai-based "GPS" for your knowledge)
> Head of Strategy @PAARM

> President @Frontiers Conferences (The makers of Frontiers.Health)

> Advisor @Metavethics Institute (Securing ethics for metaverses)

> Advisor @MultiplyLabs (Robots Making Precision Medicines)
> Advisor @CIID (Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design)

> Advisor @Weagle (Privacy protection for businesses)

> Advisor @Archetypeai.io (PhysicalAi)

> Former Director Exponential Technologies | NTT Disruption, CA.

I was often lucky and found myself in the right place at the right time, for example, when:

  •  I led the design of the first UI for a 3G (smart) phone ever; 

  • I led the small team that patented an eye-gaze user interface to control a computer (via a contactless eye-tracker);

  • I contributed to a patent about small display video optimization. 

  • I rebooted the adventurous times crossing AR/VR borders through the NTT immersive technologies. 

I appreciate the attention during my 100+ talks and conferences with 175K+ aggregated Slideshare views.

I am still in love with my 15+ years in design thinking, the few patents I contributed, my dirty dozen Awards, and all the books I wrote or contributed. Everything was possible because of the team I was part of, and I remember all the faces of the colleagues with whom I tried to build a better world together, a single technology at the time.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

—  David Orban, Blockchain investor, Futurist

“Leeander is a true, contemporary polymath! With his diverse, rich experience, and constructive, can-do attitude, any team, startup, or large corporation can only greatly benefit from having him on board. From concept, to prototype, to shipping product, he will make sure to overcome any challenge, so that the project advances until it can reach its full potential on the market..”
