Roberto Marchesi

About

From blank page to launch — I bring broad delivery experience and a belief that curiosity and creativity are what separate good teams from great ones.

My career spans AAA game development at IO Interactive, global digital play platforms at The LEGO Group, and innovation delivery in regulated pharma at Fertin Pharma. Across industries, the through-line has always been the same: bringing structure to complexity, and people along for the journey.

Curious and pragmatic in equal measure, I'm motivated by helping teams succeed. Whether introducing Agile ways of working, managing cross-functional delivery, or shaping product roadmaps — I focus on creating the conditions for great work to happen.

Outside of work, I build speakers and amplifiers, run an independent mobile game studio, and have a long history with painting and visual art.
