Ryan Vannin

Lifehacker, Entrepreneur & Startup Advisor

Ryan Vannin has more than 15 years of experience in the field of communications, business strategy, design and development. He is the owner of Plastical, a communication and business strategy consultancy for startups and small businesses established in Ticino, where he advises entrepreneurs on ways to innovate and market their services and products efficiently. He is also the co-founder of Tipiù, an e-magazine about entrepreneurship, technology and innovation related to the Italian speaking region of Switzerland. Ryan is also partnering with the government’s agency of innovation (Agire) to manage the digital branch of Tecnopolo Ticino in Chiasso.
He holds a Master in communications from USI (Università della Svizzera Italiana) and is a PhD Informatics drop-out. He is now enrolled as a bachelor student in law.
He learned — the hard way — that talent and creativity are not enough to successfully achieve goals, but passion and constant improvements. As a lifehacker himself, he believes that lifehackers are those with the greatest potential to make it through life and push us as humans forward.
