I’m Linda Ricci, a seasoned strategist deeply immersed in the world of innovation and emerging technologies. I advise global companies and brands on entering, marketing, and commercializing transformative technology.
Past clients include industry giants such as TDK Electronics, Bacardi, Fisher Price, Marriott, Canon Professional, Technicolor, Faith Popcorn, and so many more. At Meta I led global partnerships for the $150 million Immersive Learning Fund and at global Madison Avenue advertising agencies I crafted digital strategies that seamlessly merged consumer insights with next-gen technology, delivering tangible results.
I currently serve as the Vice Chairperson on the board of the Virtual World Society and am an avid evangelist for the XR ecosystem, often speaking on global stages such as TedX, AWE, IEE, Facebook Reality Labs and others about the impact and intersection between AI, XR and Web 3.0. I’ve been deeply involved in mentoring startups for many years now, at incubators and accelerators across the US and Europe.
Beyond strategic work, I’m a skilled interdisciplinary artist (including virtual reality) and holds an MBA from Rotterdam School of Management. A dual EU-US citizen, I’ve lived extensively in multiple European countries and the USA.
