Marco Magnano

Marco Magnano is a multimedia journalist with more than 10 years of live radio experience and tremendous working knowledge of advanced media technologies. Based in Europe, he is the founder and president of XRSI Europe and creator of the Ready Hacker One platform. He assembled his first Personal Computer (PC) at the age of four. More than 30 years later, the mindset of building new ideas and deconstructing old ones is still there in his DNA. Marco’s actual journey started more than 20 years ago when he confronted the challenges of digital evolution as a media activist focused on security and privacy and pitched into the rise of web 2.0 with programming and development skills, walking on the wire between enthusiasm and active criticism. The mistakes and distortions of that epoch guided him to carry those lessons into the world of emerging technologies.

XRSI’s co-founder and Executive Board Member, Marco Magnano speaks English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, a bit of German and most recently learning Arabic. In recent years Marco has traveled across continents to uncover stories of various dimensions and domains, from the Syrian war crisis to challenges of migrations in Asia, Africa, and Europe to advocate for freedom of information and the protection of the most vulnerable people. During his journey he has met humans from all walks of life and has collected every drop of knowledge on the road, becoming day by day more open to discovery, and now continuing his mission into the uncharted territories of XR technologies.
