AI Product Builder & Digital Platform Lead
Matteo Cortese
Transforming knowledge, processes and business needs into digital products, AI systems and scalable platforms.
With a background spanning software development, digital communication, UX, enterprise delivery and AI, I design and build products that help organizations unlock knowledge, improve decision-making and accelerate innovation.
About
From software to AI products
My career has moved across the full lifecycle of digital products, from writing software and shaping digital communication, to leading UX and product, to delivering enterprise transformation and, today, building AI systems.
That range is what the work is built on. I turn knowledge, processes and business needs into products that are technically sound, easy to use and built to scale, connecting the people who hold the knowledge with the systems that put it to work.
