Explore my work and the projects that make a difference.

Who I Am

I’m Elena Bianchini — a product and transformation leader with 20+ years of experience turning vision into execution across tech, strategy, and organization.

I’ve led teams, launched new businesses, and delivered clarity in complexity at companies like Lastminute.com, Facile.it, Vodafone, and Algorand Labs.

I navigate seamlessly between strategy and people, boardrooms and delivery. I listen, synthesize, and act — always with one goal: to create real, meaningful impact.
