Deda Sphere will be led by Marcello De Angelis, who has served as CEO of Share One since Dedagroup’s majority investment in 2024 and will now step into the role of President and CEO of Deda Sphere, ensuring continuity and a strong foundation for the new company.

Deda Sphere’s clear focus is on building the best end-to-end platform, starting with strong, modern core banking systems and digital-first solutions featuring a portfolio of digital solutions, services and the capabilities of experienced teams. It will also leverage on the integration and modularity with best-in-class technologies provided by the broader Dedagroup’s offering.
