Valerio Zanini
5D Vision, LLC Digital Innovator
Washington D.C. Metro Area
A product innovator and digital leader, Valerio is passionate about creating products that customers love and developing the teams that make them a reality.
An expert at bridging technology and business, he has led product and technology teams across a spectrum of industries, from Capital One, to Cisco, to Goozex (a startup he co-founded) and several other clients. An entrepreneur at heart, Valerio excels at building new products in the early stages of product innovation, where uncertainty and lack of a clear solution are the biggest challenges. This is the space where entrepreneurship, team-building, and technology know-how make a difference.
Valerio is a product innovator, a Design Thinker, and an Agile coach. He has written the book "The Spark Engine", a collection of creative drawing exercises to spark team-building and creativity in any setting.
He is writing a new book on product management called "Deliver Great Products That Customers Love", available in the Summer of 2017. In the book, he discusses the deficiencies of SDLC and current applications of Agile, and presents a new framework called the 5 Dimensions of great products.
