👋 Hi, I’m Gae,
a Product Manager
I have used the Spirit and Time Room for the past 6 years to have as many experiences as possible, learn, make mistakes and explore.
Cool, but what does it mean? 🤔
For example, I have learned how to
drawing ugly little monsters
teaching useless tricks to my dog
selling and buying useless stuff online
develop useful digital products (sometimes)
I have worked in startups, launched side-projects, built communities, been a consultant and sold digital assets.
A geek at heart, in recent years I found my way into Product Management.
Today I work in 20tab, a pioneer company in Product Management in Italy, where we develop digital products that really make a difference.
Here I continue doing what I love: building, optimizing and launching products always starting from the only thing that matters: people.
This website is my Resume little space on the web.
Below are my work experiences, take your pick: short version or long version? 👇
Work Experience.
(just a bite)
The desire to learn new things every day, the curiosity to take a step forward and deepen that extra inch of the unknown. The willingness to do and the critical ability, help the team reach another level…. A really high level.
His love for data and science, and the way he viewed Applied Psychology, led us to a huge evolution of our model.

Gaetano is one such professional with whom it has been wonderful to work together. As a product manager, he has a clear strategic vision and the ability to turn complex ideas into concrete action plans. But what really sets him apart is his extraordinary aptitude for relationships and his excellent communication skills.
Gaetano knows how to create a bond of trust with his team, clients, and partners, actively listening and always finding the right way to make everyone feel involved and valued. His empathy and mediation skills make every project run more smoothly and collaboratively. Whether explaining a new feature or solving a complex problem, he always manages to communicate with clarity and transparency, keeping team and customer motivation and energy high.
Jessica ChiavaroBusiness Developer | Ex 20tab
Gaetano is a pro who can blend creativity, strategy and management skills. I used his expertise for an ex-novo project from the basics. His input was multi-level and functional for all activities. Specifically, in addition to coordinating and selecting team members, he skillfully directed the project based on his work plan and also showed remarkable skills in project management.
Michele FranzeseEntrepreneur | Founder @SmashDigital
I can imagine him behind his PC screen studying every possible move of the user.
His strategies always start from assumptions, certainties or predictions based on real data and measurements. Nothing out of the air, no phantom results that to the tune of $K will then lead to customer dissatisfaction.
If something is done it is because it can lead to a result. Zero vanity in his work, great self-critical spirit and a crazy desire to ideate, experiment and then measure, measure, measure…
Daniele MessinaProject Manager @ResultConsulting
I can say out loud that his knowledge is frightening. The eagerness to learn new things every day, the curiosity to go one step further and delve into that extra inch of the unknown. The willingness to do and the critical ability, they help the team reach another level…. A really high level.
His love of data and science, and the way he sees Applied Psychology, has led us to a great evolution of our model.
One could not wish for a more Strategist than Gaetano on the ResultConsulting team.
Giacomo CalabreseFounder @ResultConsulting
I have worked with Gaetano on a few projects and I must say that it is really hard to find a professional like him. He pays attention to every detail, he is well prepared and has multiple skills: marketing, psychology and sales.
Gaetano is truly the best professional in the field you could wish for!
Michele CastelnuovoMarketing Specialist & COO @Stargraph
With Gaetano, right from the beginning, there was a very good feeling and already in the first weeks of work, organization, competence and professionalism emerged: excellent bases to achieve great results together.
Michele ImbimboCEO @Stargraph
Gaetano is a super helpful professional and sensitive to the client’s needs.
We are not talking about those who promise you the moon and then bring no results!
Before we left he analyzed our situation well, fixing some problems and the moment we left everything went as planned, in fact even better!
For me he is a top professional!
Thank you! 🙏
Amore ManciuraFounder @Connectrend
The project carried out with Gaetano allowed me to think with a different perspective on the problems. After engaging with him, I discovered angles I had not considered. I now approach the brand I work with as a subject to relate to, rather than an object to speculate on.
Salvatore EspositoCEO @Embedded Solutions
Gaetano enabled me to develop a greater awareness of the impact on different stakeholders of the various communications that are put in place. Gaetano was good at being clear, supporting his exposition with good material and alternating between theory and practical exercises.
Fabio De CristofaroCEO @Fantasia Napoletana
Gaetano is a knowledgeable, serious guy with that little bit of craziness that allows him to approach collaborations in the best possible way.
We did a fantastic webinar together on psychology applied to marketing, positioning and branding and we will do more.
It is a pleasure to collaborate and work with him.
