In this episode, I speak with Giacomo Mascillaro, Vice President at Konversant, a technology-based Professional Services Firm, where he advises organizations on leveraging AI to modernize operations, strengthen cybersecurity, and fuel business growth.
Giacomo's path started with a mechanical engineering degree but evolved into IT consulting, cloud strategy, and cybersecurity leadership. He built his career on curiosity, adaptability, and a lifelong commitment to learning.
In our leadership segment, Giacomo talks about how, six weeks into a new role, he was thrust into crisis leadership when a cybersecurity breach hit just before Christmas. Despite illness and limited resources, he led a rapid response and company-wide transformation through calm, strategic communication and adaptable leadership.
Giacomo's advice to aspiring engineering leaders: lead yourself before you lead others. Build habits, sharpen communication, stay curious, and prepare for change through reflection and resilience. Giacomo stresses that great engineers build things. Great leaders build systems, people, and culture.
