After a successful 7-year tenure at Koch Minerals and Trading, a leading commodity company, Giorgio shifted his focus entirely to the world of web3.

As the founder of Spindletop Digital, a cutting-edge software development company, Giorgio specializes in creating web3 applications and providing expert advice on web3-related matters. His innovative spirit has led him to co-found multiple web3 ventures, including Fair Bid, and he has played a pivotal role in tokenizing a prestigious Italian hotel on Lake Como.

A dedicated community advocate, Giorgio actively engages in discussions with organizations such as the LAO, LexDAO, dxDAO, and Art Blocks. Additionally, he founded the Houston Web3 Meetup, a vibrant group of crypto enthusiasts committed to fostering community, education, and innovation. The meetup has introduced countless individuals to web3 fundamentals, hosted hackathons, and facilitated engaging panel discussions within the community.
