Antonio Conte

Background

About Antonio Conte

I was born in Ischia, a small island where I had a very happy childhood. However, my family realized that living in a small place could limit my growth as a teenager. As a result, we moved to Naples, a vibrant city with a completely different way of life. During my time there, I developed a passion for understanding how things work, which fostered my critical thinking skills. In university, I joined a research group focused on "Biotechnology Applied to New Materials," which played a crucial role in honing my abilities to analyze and evaluate information. It was during this period that I discovered my admiration for Steve Jobs and his "Think Different" philosophy. The more I learned about Apple, the more I felt aligned with its mindset. In 2011, I attended an Apple Hiring Event and subsequently began my journey as an Apple employee, starting as a Genius on July 4th. This role allowed me to combine my passion for technology with my fascination for understanding how things functioned. During this time, I prioritized having fun, making new friends, paying attention to details, and caring for our community.
