Giovanni Olla

Giovanni is a creator—of ideas, stories, and systems that clarify complexity. With a Philosophy degree and minors in Data Science and Creative Writing from the University of Chicago, he bridges logic and creativity, grounding abstract thought in real-world impact.

At fassforward, he serves as the “human in the loop,” blending AI insight with human oversight. He builds taxonomies, connection maps, and knowledge bases while helping craft thought leadership, sales, and growth content. His experiences range from researching how concrete shapes society with a NYT best-selling author to assessing human emotion with an AI startup. Currently, he’s writing a memoir on time and relationship—another attempt of his to understand our world.

Giovanni loves to waste time on his family, coffee and a book, and tiny restaurants.
