We put AI to work where it matters: in your day
SicilAI was started by three people who firmly believe that every business has the chance to use the potential of artificial intelligence to evolve, innovate and work better. We bring skills, solutions and strategic vision to companies without a dedicated technical department too, with the quality of a top studio and clear costs from the very start
The people
We’re three co-founders from Palermo: we combine international experience, skills across several disciplines and a practical view of innovation. Our path through Italy, the US, the UK, Germany and Switzerland, inside large companies, has given us a way of working built on rigour, reliability and attention to detail
Riccardo
Co-founder
He works in finance at a large American energy multinational, where for two years he has been part of an elite development programme for senior leadership roles. He studied management in Milan and the United States. He is curious and drawn to innovation, with a strong interest in where technology, business and problem solving meet.
He is driven to understand how new technologies can become concrete solutions that improve processes and create value for companies.
His approach is practical: he likes to experiment, build and turn ideas into results. At SicilAI he brings a finance perspective: clear costs from the start, and every project judged by what it’s really worth to your business.
Manfredi
Co-founder
Mechanical engineer who for four years has worked on large high-voltage power transmission projects worth billions: first in the UK, then in Germany, where he was the client’s main point of contact, the German grid operator. Today he is a project manager in Switzerland.
On projects like these he learned to hold together time, cost, quality and teams from different countries, and to spot risks before they become problems.
He brings the same method to SicilAI: a clear plan from the start, every step agreed, and work delivered only when it’s done right.
Gabriele
Co-founder
Management engineer who has spent more than six years across operations, data and AI: first in industry and international consulting, between Milan and Zurich, and today leading the analytics systems for the global supply chain of a multinational.
He has delivered AI and machine learning projects for large companies and is the author of two publications on managing cloud costs.
His job is turning what business leaders need into tools that work and that people actually use. At SicilAI he does the same for small and medium-sized businesses: he starts from the numbers and measures the results.
Three points, one centre
The trinacria has three points, like the three capes of Sicily. We are three young people turning around one centre: creating value for our clients.
They are also the three phases of our method.
- Understand: how you work today, what costs you time
- Build: tailored to you, tested with you
- Grow: every month, with the numbers in front of us
Where we come from
All three of us are from Palermo, even though study and work have taken us around Europe and beyond. We love where we come from: it gave us the name and the symbol, the trinacria, drawn as three shards that fit perfectly together.
At large companies we saw what changes when processes are clear and data is used well. Now we want to put that experience to work for small and medium-sized businesses, in Sicily and beyond: restaurants, guesthouses, practices and workshops where the owner does a bit of everything and there’s never enough time to answer every customer.
We meet on video calls, in English and in Italian.
