Gabriele is the General Manager of Linux Foundation Europe at FINOS. He is an open source leader and technologist at heart, having spent more than 10 building thriving communities and delivering business value through open source. Gabriele thrives in working with open source communities to drive disruptive innovation, whether it’s for an early stage tech startup, a Fortune 500 firm, or a non profit organization. He brings a wealth of expertise in executive and technical leadership, ranging from fintech to enterprise collaboration, from developer platforms to SaaS ARR business models.
The adoption of open source in the financial services industry is on the rise, largely led by organizations with Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs), which are more than twice as likely to encourage open source consumption, and nearly three times as likely to encourage open source contribution.
The results of this year's survey confirm what we saw in our community, with over 20 financial institutions rolling out OSPOs resulting in a wave of acceleration in the engagement in open source, laying out the necessary building blocks for an organic, growing, and sustainable open community in the industry. While we know there is still a lot of work to do to reach full maturity, we're extremely proud of the major role that FINOS played in opening up financial services to the disruptive innovation benefits open source can deliver to this sector, very much as it has in all other industries in the last two decades.
