Paolo de Rosa

As a digital transformation expert with a deep passion for technology and economics, I have dedicated my career to harnessing these fields as catalysts for social and political change. I firmly believe that technology is not only an innovative tool, but an essential transformative force in shaping a more progressive and equal society. I worked for Canonical, Deutsche Telekom and from 2018 until end of 2022 held the position of Chief Technology Officer at the Government in the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, where I've focused on integrating technological advancements into wider government strategies, particularly in digital identity, cybersecurity, and cloud technologies. Today I work for the European Commission, where I am at the forefront of policy development for technology of trust services, and the European Digital Identity Wallet, viewing these innovations not just as technological milestones but as catalysts for policy and societal advancement.
