Lorenzo Baloci

Born in Venice. Raising our son, Liam, in Jersey City, with my wife Chiara.

Group product manager at Google, where I started in 2012 in the early days of Workspace.

I grew Google Domains to 10M+ domains, then sold it to Squarespace.

Next, personalization models for Google Shopping.

Now I’m transforming internal tools with applied AI.

Ca’ Foscari Computer science. My thesis was a CTF lab where students learn security by breaking things on purpose. I helped start c00kies@venice.

Along the way I helped with security incidents (the serious kind), internet standards (the slow kind) and distributed teams (from scratch).

Outside work and family I tinker with financial tools (I built my own direct indexing algo), IoT and ham radio (I’m KJ7HVX).
