Octave Olivetti

CDP Architect & Data Engineer | Customer 360° | Retail & Luxe

I architect and engineer CDPs delivering measurable business results for retail and luxury: Customer 360°, cross-channel activation, segmentation, product recommendations, and cross-brand performance.

Senior technical profile with strong business focus. I design data architectures (flows, layers, segmentation), write production code (Python, SQL, GCP), and lead delivery teams. From strategy to execution, I deliver measurable results.

My work integrates business-optimized privacy into technical foundations, collaborating with your legal teams for sustainable performance and compliance.
