Kevin Escoda

Kevin Escoda is a technology strategist, entrepreneur and writer. Born in Spain to a Spanish father and a French mother, raised in France, working in four languages, he lives between Milan and the French Riviera, which he considers less a lifestyle than a sampling method. His books follow a single thread: how the infrastructures we live on get built, and who ends up owning them. The first followed money as it became programmable, told from inside the institutional laboratories of tokenized finance. The second will follow intelligence itself: where the data comes from, where the energy goes, and to whom the machines that think will belong. The method is the same in both: no prophets, no panic, only facts with sources and a few stubborn questions asked until the fog lifts. Those questions were earned at the workbench. As Senior Consultant Blockchain & Finance at Cetif Advisory, the consulting spinoff of CeTIF, the research centre of the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan, he worked inside the projects that took Italian banks, asset managers and custodians from their first security token issuance to the first institutional-grade Automated Market Maker for digital securities in Europe. Today he is an independent advisor on artificial intelligence, tokenization and digital strategy, founder of the creative-tech agency diShine, and former voice behind the DisruptiveTalks podcast.
