ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Tin. I was born and grew up in Italy, I also lived part of my life in San Francisco, Palo Alto, Paris, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Porto.

I’m a entrepreneur, in the past I ran with my dad a family’s company called Italchina, while creating new businesses in the social media and web industry. With no marketing budget I created communities with more than 5 million users and then founded the social media division of SEOLAB and worked with top clients like Benetton Group Worldwide (United Colors of Benetton, Sisley, Playlife), Fox (Fox, National Geographic, History Channel), Kimberly Clark (Scottex, Teresita, Kleenex). Then I did a startup Cityfan which became the restaurant guide of Repubblica, the largest editorial online and offline in Italy. Now I’m totally focused on OSVehicle: https://www.osvehicle.com/
