Background

About Andrew Facciolo

Passionate about the intersection of AI, blockchain, and Web3, I thrive on exploring how emerging technologies reshape industries and society. With a background in Business Technology Management from Toronto Metropolitan University, I’ve worked with clients around the world to leverage blockchain and Web3 solutions, driving innovation and uncovering new business opportunities. At BRI, a leading global independent think tank, I contribute to cutting-edge research initiatives on how Web3 technologies transform business and government, helping organizations navigate and thrive in this evolving digital landscape. My work at the convergence of blockchain and Web3 inspired me to pursue the Schulich MMAI program at York University (2025/26)—a specialized master’s degree focused on equipping leaders with the expertise to drive AI adoption and investment. I have a deep interest in the ethical implications of AI and blockchain, particularly how they can work together across industries to create more transparent, efficient, and responsible systems. A firm believer in lifelong learning and balance, I’m passionate about fostering meaningful business relationships while continuously expanding my knowledge. Beyond my professional pursuits, I enjoy creating and playing music and am dedicated to achieving my personal vision of health and fitness. Let’s connect and discuss the future of AI, blockchain, and Web3!
