Alberto Uberti

I support boards in turning AI and digital transformation from strategic intent into governed, executable and value-generating initiatives—particularly in regulated and complex environments

I bring a hybrid profile combining large-scale corporate governance, top-tier consulting, and hands-on startup and venture experience, with a strong focus on AI adoption, technology strategy, and execution discipline.

Currently leading Innovation, AI and IT Governance in Generali asset management, with direct accountability on AI strategy, governance frameworks, portfolio management and budget oversight

Proven track record in digital transformation programs in financial services, including cloud, agile and process reengineering initiatives

Former Program Director and Investment Manager in one of the leading Italian fintech/insurtech accelerators, working with corporates and startups and managing cross-industry partnerships

Entrepreneurial background as co-founder of an AI-driven healthcare startup, with successful exit to an industrial group

Exposure to C-level advisory through consulting roles (Accenture, Gartner), supporting CIO/COO agendas on transformation and cost optimization

What differentiates me as a board/advisor profile is the ability to bridge strategy, governance and execution: I do not only define direction, but I ensure it is operationally viable, measurable and aligned with regulatory expectations.

What makes me a strong advisor / board member

1) AI, innovation and governance at scale

Direct experience in defining and industrializing AI strategies within a regulated financial environment
Strong focus on governance, risk, auditability and compliance alongside innovation
Ability to translate AI/technology into business value and operating models

2) End-to-end transformation perspective

Combination of strategy consulting (Gartner, Accenture) and internal leadership roles
Experience across design → execution → scaling → governance
Proven capability to manage complex stakeholder environments and cross-functional programs

3) Dual lens: corporate + startup ecosystem

Deep understanding of corporate constraints (budget, regulation, legacy systems)
Complemented by exposure to startup dynamics, innovation pipelines and venture investments
Ability to support boards in build / partner / invest decisions

4) Execution discipline and operating rigor

Strong background in program management, portfolio governance and cost control
Ability to challenge management on deliverability, prioritization and measurable outcomes
Focus on turning strategy into executable roadmaps
