Andrea Calcagno — CEO
With over 25 years of experience driving strategic vision and operational execution for global B2B SaaS startups, I am passionate about harnessing Artificial Intelligence and next-generation connectivity to drive business transformation. As the CEO and Co-Founder of Cloud4Wi, I have spearheaded the growth of a pioneering, AI-first enterprise Wi-Fi platform. By seamlessly connecting people and things, our technology empowers Fortune 500 companies to unlock the full potential of their physical locations and deliver innovative, location-aware experiences. Today, Cloud4Wi scales across 120 countries, connecting 150 million guests in over 60,000 locations. Building on this commitment to technological growth, I proudly volunteer as Co-Founder, VP, and Board Member of i3/NYC, a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering and empowering the vibrant community of Italian innovators in New York City. Beyond my operational and non-profit roles, I am an active Angel Investor. I leverage my executive-level proficiency in AI, 5G, and smart technologies to advise, fund, and scale promising early-stage startups. Throughout my career, my ability to lead multicultural teams, navigate complex global markets, and give back to the entrepreneurial ecosystem allows me to create long-term, sustainable value across the enterprise tech landscape. Outside of the boardroom, I am deeply passionate about all things tech, an avid soccer fan, and always exploring the creative possibilities of AI art.
