About me

I’m Alessandro D’Andrea, a 47 years old Product Manager with an extensive experience in E-Commerce & Omnichannel. I live in Bologna (Italy) and I’m also a philosophy ninja and a climber and mountain addict. (reach me on LinkedIn)

More about me? Enthusiastic and versatile professional with over two decades of experience in Digital, E-Commerce, and Omnichannel. Product Manager with a proven ability to manage complex product lifecycles and lead cross-functional teams in delivering large-scale projects and platform integrations for luxury and fashion maisons. With a strong technical background, I’m also proficient in team coaching with a results-oriented approach. Driven by a passion for excellence and innovation, I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my collaborative mindset, technical expertise, and creativity to solve complex challenges.

For the last ten years, I have been part of the YOOX NET-A-PORTER Group family where I have held various roles and coordinated significant replatforming projects, onboarding new brands and maisons, as well as complex integrations related to e-commerce, omnichannel, and dropshipping.

The mountains are my passion. I love the mountains, especially in their winter guise. I adore long solitary hikes that help me think and recharge. I practice climbing and mountaineering with my most trusted friends. I also have a kind of devotion, bordering on fetishism, for technical clothing and equipment. I enjoy studying them, understanding and discovering their potential even in alternative and unconventional uses.

Having spent years, from a philosophical and scientific perspective, on networks, information, intelligence, and consciousness, I believe that the advent of Generative AI represents a turning point similar to the 1980s and 1990s for the Internet, when we were navigating completely unknown and stimulating terrain. A new humanism that could make a difference in our evolution, not only in terms of well-being but impacting the entire ecosystem.
