Cosmico

Chief People Officer
Chief People Officer @ Cosmico Gianluca’s story begins in the swimming pool, where he played professional water polo for over a decade. That’s where he developed his people-first vision: observing, understanding, and acting with intuition and strategy. Today, as Chief People Officer at Cosmico, he brings that same spirit to a new kind of team — a community of digital talent, including designers, developers, and creatives, connected daily with ambitious projects in companies and agencies around the world. Within Cosmico, he has held several key roles, helping to build a “talent as a service” model that aims to rewrite the rules of work. His journey has taken him through global recruiting firms like Randstad, academic institutions such as Politecnico di Milano, and international educational organizations. In every context, his goal has remained the same: to create meaningful connections between people and opportunities. Athletic, curious, and driven by a human-centered approach, Gianluca continues to nurture talent. Only now, instead of diving into the pool, he’s shaping the future of work.
