In addition to BOD of Startup Commons, he's the Italian Ambassador for Startup School and collaborate with Mind The Bridge foundation.
Arlinda Sipilä is pointed as our Chief Operating Officer and she will also join our Board Of Directors
In addition to more established companies like Tellabs, Arlinda is familiar with growth startups by having worked in several of those in her career, including SSH Communications, SEVEN Networks Inc., and Xtract. In her Senior Marketing positions she''s been responsible for overall marketing strategies, planning, execution and managing the marketing team for product launches, branding, public relations and event management.

We are very happy to have both Stefano and Arlinda to join our BOD and specially happy to have Arlinda join us as the first acting COO. Expect to hear a lot more about Startup Commons in 2010.
About our BOD
Our Board of Directors is still an interim board. While we are working hard to see that the board will grow to have a community voice, we think one of the board's primary missions will be to act as a search committee to find a permanent board of directors that brings representation from global startup companies and investor communities such that all parties feel confident the board can fairly represent their views.
