About Paola Generali
Paola Generali is the Managing Director of Getsolution, according to a Talentware LinkedIn post she shared. The post also lists her as President of EDI Confcommercio, the national Digital Innovation Hub of Confcommercio, and President of Assintel. It describes more than 25 years of experience in compliance, cybersecurity and governance, and board seats at several listed companies.
Her LinkedIn profile lists Zest Group as her current experience, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore for education, and Milan as her location. LinkedIn Pulse articles under her name cover GDPR, digital innovation, cybersecurity and Italian digital SMEs. An Assintel item there says she became its vice president with responsibility for cybersecurity.
The only angel investment we could confirm is Talentware. Public announcements of its 2026 seed round name her among a group of business angels made up of entrepreneurs and C-level executives with sector experience. We found no public record of other angel investments, an angel network membership, or a fund.
Talentware is an AI-native skill intelligence platform for HR teams. It was founded in 2023 by three former Bain & Company consultants. Its seed round was announced on 21 July 2026 and totals EUR 3.3M (about $3.8M). CDP Venture Capital led the round with 360 Capital. Other participants included 035 Investimenti and New Gate (Filippini Holding).
On LinkedIn, Generali said she is glad to be part of Talentware as a business angel and as a member of its Advisory Board, where she offers her experience. Talentware's own post says its business angels bring experience and a strategic view as well as capital.
Her one confirmed investment is a seed-stage round in an enterprise HR technology company. Her own background is in cybersecurity, compliance and digital innovation for Italian businesses. She has not made public statements on her check size, preferred stage or investment criteria, so we do not list any.
