William Medici

William Costello Medici is a business executive, writer, filmmaker, and former United States Army  and intelligence officer. He has spent more than two decades building and scaling companies across media, advertising, entertainment, artificial intelligence, and biotech, contributing to four successful exits and launching businesses in markets around the world.

He is also the founder of Dolce, a multi-platform content company and the co-founder of The Medici Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to the arts, cultural preservation, and creator development. William co-wrote with Lisa Medici Bijou’s B&B: Best in Show, the much-beloved children’s book about friendship, community, and the adventures of its spirited canine host.

William writes about business, politics, intelligence and national security, film and television, Italian American identity, food, culture, and the institutions that shape public life. His work draws on the worlds in which he has served, built, created, and lived. Across every subject, his method is consistent: begin with experience, test it against evidence, and follow the argument where it leads.
