Francesco Sollitto

With a background in economics and statistics, the focus of his research and professional career quickly shifted to the sustainability domain and the value of digitalization. The interest in Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration developed early in his career influenced his thinking on using digital solutions to accelerate knowledge sharing while increasing transparency. Working closely with the developers of SafeSize, he gained practical experience in designing and maintaining digital platforms in an effort to modernize the footwear retail industry and reduce overconsumption. By building dashboards and visual representations, he brings a critical perspective on data-driven decision-making to the organizations he has joined. For example, in Circle Economy he introduces interactive visualizations to explore complex insights into the environmental impacts of countries and cities, which are used by the researcher to come up with policy recommendations supported by statistical evidence.
