Emanuele Castagno
Emanuele Castagno si innamora dei computer e della telematica dopo aver visto, a 11 anni, il film War Games e, lo stesso giorno, decide che da grande sarebbe diventato Ingegnere Elettronico.I suoi genitori lo incoraggiano acquistandogli il primo home computer: uno Zx Spectrum 48 della Sinclair che ancora conserva in una teca.Su questo computer Emanuele sviluppa numerose applicazioni imparando, da autodidatta, il linguaggio Basic e l’Assembler per realizzare rudimentali video games.L’anno successivo, nel 1984, i suoi genitori, vista la sua reale passione per questo nuovo campo del sapere, lo incoraggiano ulteriormente assecondando la sua richiesta di un computer più potente e versatile: l’Apple ][e.Grazie a questo computer, Emanuele sviluppa le prime applicazioni che vende per autofinanziarsi gli investimenti in tecnologia, spaziando da un’applicazione per uno studio dentistico a un gioco di avventura.Insieme ai computer, Emanuele coltiva la sua grande passione per le reti di telecomunicazioni diventando un esperto della rete Itapac e poi dei BBS (Bulleting Board Systems) per poi rimanere folgorato da Mosaic e dalla nascente Internet nel 1993 durante il suo secondo anno di Ingegneria Elettronica a Genova.L’utilizzo in mobilità dei computer lo interessa molto ma i primi portatili - o meglio trasportabili - sono troppo costosi come il primo palmare: l’Apple Newton.Nel 1996 fonda, con un compagno di università, la società FSC Consulting per offrire servizi alle piccole aziende in ambito Internet e networking. Sviluppa, in quegli anni, competenze di management e business development.Dopo quattro anni, per crescere ulteriormente, cede la società ai soci per trasferirsi a Milano e accettare le sfide della new economy lavorando per framfab prima e A.T. Kearney poi. Queste esperienze lavorative gli permettono di sviluppare competenze di project management e di creazione di portali web complessi con modelli di business a supporto degli stessi.In quegli anni, i primi palmari sono già diventati suoi compagni fedeli di avventure.Nel 2004 accetta la sfida, offertagli da Altran, di avviare una nuova sede a Genova. Nel 2007 trascina la moglie a New York, con la scusa di una vacanza, per acquistare il primo iPhone 2G al quale sono seguiti tutti i successivi modelli acquistati, più comodamente, sotto casa. Ma il suo desiderio di mobilità, accesso alla rete e computer si concretizza solo nel 2010 nell’iPad dal quale non si separa mai.Oggi lavora nell'hub di ingegneria del Gruppo Rina costituito da D'Appolonia e Polaris come manager nel settore aerospace, difesa, trasporti telecomunicazioni ed elettronica. La sua professionalità, oggi, convive con il suo grande amore per la tecnologia, la mobilità, il management e lo sviluppo business, non necessariamente in quest’ordine.Il desiderio di trasmettere le sue esperienze e best practice sull’utilizzo dell’iPad a livello professionale l’hanno spinto a realizzare il suo primo libro "Gestisci il tuo tempo con GTD® e l’iPad®" che ha venduto più di 30.000 copie. A questo libro ne sono seguiti altri due tra cui l'ultimo "Aumenta la tua produttività nell’era dell’iPad® e del GTD®"

THE AUTHOR
Emanuele Castagno fell in love with computers and telematics after seeing the movie War Games when he was 11 years old, and the same day he decided that when he grew up he would become an Electronic Engineer.
His parents encouraged him by buying the first home computer for him: a Sinclair Zx Spectrum 48 which he has kept in a theca.
Emanuele developed numerous applications on this computer, learning BASIC computer language and Assembler by himself, so that he could create rudimentary video games.
The following year, in 1984, because of his passion for this new field of knowledge, his parents further encouraged him by accepting his request for a more powerful and versatile computer: l’Apple ][e.
Thanks to this computer, Emanuel developed the first applications that he then sold to self-finance his investments in technology, ranging from an application for a dental practice to an adventure game.
Along with computers, Emanuel developed his passion for telecommunications networks, becoming an expert on the Itapac and then BBS (Bulleting Board Systems) to then being highly impressed by Mosaic and the then newly developing Internet in 1993 during his second year of Electrical Engineering studies in Genoa.
He was very interested in the mobile use of computers but the first laptops - or rather, transportable computers - were too expensive, as was the first handheld device: the l’Apple Newton.
In 1996 he founded the company FSC Consulting, along with a University colleague, to provide Internet and networking services to small businesses. In those years, he developed management and business development skills.
Four years later, in order to further increase his skills, he sold the company to his partners and moved to Milan to accept the challenges of the new economy, working firstly for Framfab and then AT Kearney. This work experience allowed him to develop project management skills and the possibility to create complex web portals with supporting business models.
In those years the first handheld devices already became his faithful companions.
