Alessandro Luciano

Arriving at Yale University changed everything. He was sure he’d become a scientist, but he ended up spending more time at the startup center than in the lab. He first co-founded and ran Clevrnet, a freelancing platform connecting early-stage startups with freelancers in colleges and professional schools. He then co-founded Havenly Treats, a thriving social enterprise kitchen on a mission to help refugee and immigrant women prosper and shape their communities. And in between, he poured over biochemistry textbooks and graduated magna cum laude double majoring in Molecular Biology and Economics.

Working full-time at McKinsey after college, he learned how to be a trusted partner to operators. He advised clients across software, healthcare and a variety of other industries on functional topics such as marketing, sales, and growth strategy.

All of these experiences have led to his work at Insight, where he get to roll up his sleeves and be part of the company-building journey from the beginning. After almost a decade in the United States, he is now coming full circle back in Europe, in London, where he has the privilege of spending most of his time with great European entrepreneurs.
