ST-One strengthens technological leadership with new CTO

The change aims to accelerate innovation and make industrial processes more efficient

ST-One, a Data Science company focused on industry, announces Giovanni Abate Neto as its new Chief Technology Officer (CTO). With over 15 years of experience in technology, Giovanni has built a career in leadership roles at companies such as Dr. Consulta, Vitta, and Sami, where he served as CTO and was a founding team member.

Giovanni joins co-founder Guilherme Francescon Cittolin, who will remain dedicated to the company’s strategic development. The partnership strengthens ST-One’s international presence and drives the acceleration of its technology division. “My focus will be on speeding up ST-One’s current innovation pipeline and broadening our technological horizons, seeking greater external knowledge, developing partnerships, and transforming industry pain points and opportunities into solutions we can deliver,” says Guilherme.

Giovanni highlights that his experience across different sectors will be important for this new phase of the company. “Throughout my career, I’ve learned a lot about scaling companies during periods of rapid growth and had the opportunity to work in challenging sectors, such as digital health. This experience has given me a valuable toolkit of lessons that I now bring to ST-One. Although it’s a different market, the fundamentals of growth, technology, and team management remain the same, and I’m excited to apply this knowledge in a new context,” says the new CTO.

ST-One has already established itself as a strategic partner for major industrial players, bridging equipment from different technological generations. “Developing a plug-and-play solution that integrates both software and hardware demands mastery of technology and in-depth expertise. Making this solution scalable adds yet another layer of complexity, so meticulous attention to every product detail—how it’s architected, engineered, and how we ensure its quality—is essential for the success of the technology,” explains Guilherme.

For Giovanni, technology is at the heart of this industrial transformation. “ST-One already delivers tremendous value to its clients. My role will be to make sure this value delivery becomes increasingly scalable, upholding the quality standards that already set the company apart, while at the same time laying the groundwork for consistent expansion into new international markets,” he emphasizes.

With clients such as ABInBev, Klabin, and Henkel, ST-One operates in over 20 countries and continues to advance the integration of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, connectivity, and embedded computing. “There’s no doubt that AI, when properly leveraged, has the potential to unlock significant value from the industrial data we collect, and ST-One has been implementing new tools and algorithms that are already delivering these benefits to its clients,” Guilherme states.

Giovanni’s arrival marks a new chapter in the company’s strategy. “ST-One brings together three factors that I consider fundamental: exceptional people, a business model with the potential to revolutionize the market, and an opportunity to learn in a field I’ve always been passionate about industrial innovation. This combination was decisive in my decision to accept the invitation,” Giovanni concludes.
