INTRO
Dear guest, thanks for visiting my personal website. My name is Michele Cuccovillo (before you ask… it’s pronounced Meekele Cookkow-veellow).
Currently, I am the founder of BottomlessBrunch.com and Villa Rocca 1914 as well as the fractional CMO for Marina Eerrie and EmergeONE.
With over 15 years of experience in setting up, scaling and managing teams in the tech and digital space, I work as an Executive at tech scale-ups (typical roles: Chief Marketing Office or VP of Growth) and am a small-cheque investor.
MY PERSONAL HISTORY
Some people are born with a very clear idea of what they’ll want to do in their professional lives. So they go after it heads down and typically specialise in a narrow field. I admire them, but I am not one of them.
In every stage of my life, in fact, I found something interesting that I wanted to know more about and play with. Against today’s prevailing world of specialisation, I am a proud generalist whose curiosity will forever remain unconstrained.
I was born in a beautiful but small town in Apulia, in the South of Italy, called Trani. As a kid, I absolutely loved maths and quickly became some sort of a maths freak. As an adolescent, though, I took an interest in humanities and ended up studying Latin, Ancient Greek, History and Philosophy.
At uni, I changed my path again and graduated in Business, Accounting and Finance. I also hold an MBA from ESCP Europe.
I worked in multiple sectors such as Finance, Consulting, FMCG and Tech and in a number of different roles: Chief of Staff, Head of Operations, CEO, CMO, Head of Growth (my focus in the last few years).
The knowledge that I have accumulated across a number of functions and sectors allows me to understand and speak the language of pretty much anybody I come across, regardless of their seniority, sector or else.
WHAT I DO
I am an entrepreneur, a Chief Marketing Officer or VP of Growth, and an occasional angel/crowd/crypto investor.
