I was born in 1977 in Turin, Italy, into a working-class family with roots in Puglia.
I taught myself to read and do multi-digit arithmetic before starting school, and ended up skipping first grade. Writing has always been my weak spot, along with set theory and coloring inside the lines. I'm still working on the handwriting; I eventually made peace with set theory through relational databases.
I studied engineering but never finished my degree: I'll always have 11 exams and an English credit to my name. Close enough for the nameplate.
I started my career in 1999 as a software developer, and have spent most of it writing backend code in C, C++, C# and SQL. Over the years I've worked across some very different domains: I spent a decade at a software company, then moved to Banca Sella's Trading Online division in Biella, then landed at Deltatre, a dream job building software for major sporting events including the UEFA European Championship, the FIFA World Cup, and the Olympics. In 2013 I built a Twitter social poll to vote for Man of the Match during the World Cup; the software worked flawlessly, even if the marketing didn't quite match.
In 2018 I took on a new challenge: building a web-based ERP platform from scratch. I named it Fattutto, and it's what I still work on today, with a small and very capable remote team. The pandemic didn't change much for us: we were already working from home.
Alongside development, I've been involved in tech community and communication for years. I collaborate with Codemotion, help run the Torino .NET Users Group, and co-host the "Bonanni a tutti", a yearly show/conference about and around computer science, located in Turin, after Christmas holidays.
Outside of tech: I'm a football coach (since 2008), I play keyboard, and I write about Juventus on Facebook. Since July 2022 I've been living with two coronary stents, which makes me feel like a lucky guy. As I like to say: out of ten things I've attempted, half of them worked out. I spend my life looking for the other half.

Emma’s story is anchored in two worlds that rarely meet: elite sport and enterprise transformation.

Her grounding across AI, ERP, CRM and HCM ecosystems positions her as a trusted partner to Microsoft, Dayforce and organisations that want to navigate transformation with discipline, risk awareness and genuine quality control.

She is known for a direct, engaging style that cuts through jargon and gets to the truth of how programmes succeed or fail. Her talks blend sharp insight with authenticity, humour and sports logic, giving both technical and functional audiences something they can use the moment they leave the room.

She currently serves as Head of Organizational Development at NeuralSeek, where she leads enterprise AI strategy, delivery models, and talent pipelines across regulated industries including government, healthcare, insurance, and financial services.

Joy’s career began in education, an experience that deeply shaped her leadership philosophy: complex systems succeed when they are designed for people first.

She has overseen 40+ enterprise AI initiatives, delivering Agentic AI solutions across IBM, AWS, and Azure, and ensuring deployments meet PCI, HIPAA, and SOC 2 compliance standards.

She speaks candidly about both successes and failures, offering practical frameworks that help organizations move AI from concept to real-world, scalable impact.

Joy has presented at LASCON 2025, Microsoft Azure, and Google’s Agentic AI forums, speaking to executives, developers, and compliance leaders on responsible AI deployment, enterprise readiness, and scaling AI organizations globally.
