General Manager @ AInfinity · 15+ Years Luxury × AI × Growth · Shanghai

Hi, I'm Valerio — a marketing & communications leader with 15+ years across luxury retail, digital transformation, and AI-led growth. I've been General Manager at YOOX NET-A-PORTER and Head of Digital at LVMH / Loewe, and most recently CMO at Infini — scaling a Pay-Fi brand from zero to 50,000+ users across APAC and LATAM.

Today I'm General Manager at AInfinity — an AI-native content & learning platform built on one idea: every interaction should help you understand AI better, use it better, and grow.

A multilingual storyteller (Mandarin · English · Italian), I build narratives that travel across cultures — and on the side I vibe code, write sci-fi, and teach AI on YouTube.

The short version

I started in Italian fashion (Ferragamo, United Outlet), led luxury e-commerce and omnichannel at YOOX NET-A-PORTER and LVMH / Loewe, then moved into fintech and digital assets — advising at Reva Capital and running global brand and growth at Infini. Now I'm building brand at AInfinity. Throughout: multilingual storytelling, data-driven growth, and audiences across APAC and LATAM.
