About the Author

Meet Professor Marco Di Maggio, a trailblazer at the intersection of fintech and traditional finance. With a PhD from MIT and a professorship at Harvard Business School, where he founded the Fintech, Crypto, and Web3 Lab, Professor Di Maggio now trains future tech billionaires and Web3 wizards at Imperial College.

Professor Di Maggio’s expertise covers both the technical and economic aspects of Web3, blending academic rigor with real-world experience. He has authored numerous Harvard Business School cases on industry leaders like Uniswap, Avalanche, and Coinbase, many of which are featured in this book. His research has been highlighted by major media outlets, including the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.

However, Professor Di Maggio isn’t your typical Ivy League professor. He’s not just a bystander in the crypto world. He has served on the advisory board of the Coinbase Institute, as a board member of the Mina Foundation, and as a consultant for top companies like Ripple. He also cofounded a cutting-edge company at the intersection of AI and crypto, named among Binance’s Most Valuable Builders in 2024.

With deep roots in traditional finance, collaborating with asset managers and major banks, Professor Di Maggio offers a unique perspective. He understands what traditional sectors might lack and what Web3 can learn from them. This blend of old-school finance wisdom and cutting-edge tech knowledge makes his insights invaluable.
