Valeria Leonardi
Head of Strategy
I am thrilled to embark on my journey at NICA, where innovation means much more than tech advancements. My career echoes a passion for purpose-driven endeavours, and NICA’s commitment to revitalizing stale innovation approaches resonates deeply with me. Focusing on overlooked areas for significant impact, within the longevity economy—an area poised to become even more pivotal in the coming years—I am eager to contribute to enabling more players to adopt a new approach that merges cutting-edge tech with human experience, knowledge, and keen observation. Joining NICA fulfils my lifelong ambition of making a tangible impact on lives through this ground-breaking innovation.
Joining NICA in January 2024, Valeria brings a wealth of experience as a seasoned, global leader with a proven track record in scaling businesses and fostering strategic partnerships. Her diverse career, spanning the prestigious film industry to cutting-edge consumer electronics, start-ups, health tech, and marketing and communications, uniquely positions her to power NICA’s global ambitions and growth. Committed to continuous learning and positive impact, she is excited to contribute to the organization’s mission of creating thriving ecosystems in the longevity economy while advancing innovation.
