Rodi has spent his career in motorsport with an impressive track record, starting out in F1 race engineering before moving into business management for tech organisations. Co-founder Giuliana Tessitore is a clinical psychologist by training with 20 years experience. Over the course of her career, she has developed a multi-disciplinary psychological implementation approach based on a scientific methodology.

Directors
Rodi Basso is considered a Motor-Racing and Technology Business expert and an opinion leader. His career started as an Aerospace Engineer at NASA Space Flight Center (Greenbelt - USA) where he worked as a consultant on implementing a just declassified technology into an on-board satellite data processing application.
He then spent more than 20 years in the Motorsport Industry started with 6 seasons in the Scuderia Ferrari Team as a Performance Engineer. Firstly he joined the Test Team and, after two years, he was promoted to the Race Team to work with Rubens Barrichello and reporting to Ross Brawn. In this time frame, he had the privilege to be part of the Team that won five drivers and five constructors championships.
In 2006, he then moved to Redbull Racing covering a similar role for David Coulthard. In the same period, he was also Race Engineer in the Redbull Test Team for several testing sessions. He was reporting to Adrian Newey and had a chance to work with the strongest professionals of Formula 1. Rodi was also part of the crew conquering the first podium of Red Bull history (Monaco 2006).
After 3 years, he setup a company called AllinSports srl in Modena (Italy) with the business partner Anton Stipinovich. The company was offering PMO service to the A1GP promoter acting like the focal point among Ferrari, Magneti Marelli and the Design office to develop the A1GP cars. The Company also ran a simulator with an HIL used by the drivers for training purposes and by Magneti Marelli to develop and validate their software. The A1GP championship was able to start after only 9 months from the promoter’s commitment.
After less than 2 years, Magneti Marelli called him to join the Motorsport Sales and Marketing department. When he left in 2016, he was Sales and Marketing Director of two Business Units: the “Motorsport” and the Innovation BUs led by the CTO of the Magneti Marelli Group. The Motorsport BU supplies electronics for high and mid tier championships. The CTO Group was focused on scouting start-ups and providing low/high voltage electronics to the high-end automotive. During his time at Magneti Marelli, he more than doubled the revenues of the motorsport BU and started to build a revenue stream of the CTO group which was founded only 1 year before.
In August 2016, he was hired by McLaren to be the Director of McLaren Applied Technologies – Motorsports and reporting to the CEO. He joined the Executive Board of McLaren Applied Technologies. Rodi started with 3 people in his Team plus 100 indirect resources and ended up with 20 reports in the BU and more than 200 engineers involved in new generated projects. The revenue was significantly increased in three years with more than 50% contribution.
Today, Rodi is a technology entrepreneur and business advisor. In September 2020, together with Alejandro Agag, he has launched a new Technology based Sport called the E1 series with the vision of accelerating the electrification process of the Marine Industry.
