Why SevenBread?
My family likes to say that you can always trust a company that puts the owner's name on the door. Whether or not that's actually true, my last name, Settipani, roughly translates to something like "seven loaves of bread" in the original Italian. I thought that might be a bit of a mouthful.
So, I chose the name SevenBread both to honor my family's name and to open up the wide world of bread-based puns. Ready for a world of pane? Read on.
About Me
I hold a degree in Journalism from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, Media and Integrated Marketing Communications, widely regarded as one of the strongest programs in the world.
By the time graduation rolled around, I had worked for three newspapers, two investigative units and a handful of online publications, on stories that spanned two continents. During all of this, I grew tired of journalism's limitations – foremost among them the tendency to constantly point out problems without offering a solution.
Nowhere was more emblematic of the problem-solving mindset, I believed, than the world of technology startups. So, two days after graduation I walked onto the job at a ~15-person Chicago software firm that had yet to secure its Series A.
I chose well. Today that company numbers over 500, and they remain a trusted client to this day. Over the years I've learned to combine a classical media background with a scrappy startup mentality, and found a home for my storytelling skills that allows me to help solve the problems of the world.
