When your company grows, people make the difference.
I help you manage them well
Over 25 years of corporate experience, across multinationals and scaleups: at Deliveroo I built the People function from scratch. Today I support entrepreneurs, HR teams and managers as a consultant, Fractional HR Manager and ICF-certified coach.
Do any of these situations sound familiar?
I work with three types of clients. If any of these sound familiar, let’s talk.
Entrepreneurs, SMEs and startups
-
“We’ve grown fast and people management hasn’t kept up: unclear roles, improvised processes.”
-
“We don’t have HR, or HR only handles admin and payroll.”
-
“Our best people are leaving and we struggle to hire the right ones.”
HR teams
-
“The business wants us to be more strategic, but day-to-day operations take up all our time.”
-
“We need to build missing processes: performance management, compensation policies, training, engagement.”
-
“We need a sounding board who has already delivered these projects.”
Managers and Executives
-
“I’ve just become a manager and leading my team is harder than I expected.”
-
“Our managers are technically strong, but they struggle to lead people.”
-
“I want to grow in my role and become a more effective leader.”
My Expertise
After over 25 years of corporate experience, I chose to put my expertise at the service of organizations and people in a more flexible and direct way. I work on targeted projects for entrepreneurs, HR teams, managers and executives, combining strategic vision with a very practical approach.
HR Consulting & Fractional HR Manager
I help entrepreneurs and companies design or transform their HR processes, clearly linking them to business priorities.
If your company doesn’t yet have a structured HR function, I can lead it part-time as a Fractional HR Manager: the experience of a senior HR leader a few days a month, without the cost of a full-time hire.
I support People functions going through transformation or change.
I also work on individual processes, built from scratch or evolved: People Strategy and People Plan, engagement surveys, performance management, learning and development, talent management, job grading, salary banding.
Business & Executive Coaching
I support managers, leaders, and executives in their professional development, combining coaching methods with a deep understanding of organizational dynamics.
I consolidated my approach in the field as an HR professional and people manager and refined it with specific training that led to the ICF Professional Coach (ACC) certification.
I work to ensure concrete and measurable change, taking into account the expectations of the manager, the team, and the company.
My added value is a thorough understanding of the opportunities and constraints present in each organization, enabling me to transform potential into real results, just like a coach who truly understands the game.
Managerial Training
I design and deliver training programs for ICs and people managers, aiming to enhance soft skills and key competencies for professional growth.
I combine organizational knowledge with experience in designing training programs.
I offer practical initiatives that provide tools and resources that can be immediately applied to daily work.
Over the years, I have trained corporate managers, individual contributors, young HR professionals in specialized master's programs, and university students.
About Me
Over 25 years in business, across corporates and startups
Over 25 years in business, I have shaped Human Resources across diverse sectors—from established corporations to high-growth startups and global multinationals. My approach is defined by a dual mission: driving organizational strategy through robust HR transformation and unlocking the full potential of leaders. Throughout my journey, I have acted as a trusted advisor to founders, executives, and HR leaders, ensuring people strategy is directly aligned with business excellence.
Having navigated highly varied organizational landscapes, I bring deep, hands-on experience in leadership advisory and executive coaching. I specialize in helping startup teams scale efficiently and assisting SMEs in professionalizing their leadership structures.
Today I put this experience at the service of companies and people. Like a sports coach: you don’t need to have played at the top level, but it certainly helps.
Beyond the boardroom, I am a dedicated father to two teenagers—a role that demands and rewards the very same empathy and resilience I bring to my job. Based in Milan and a lifelong sports enthusiast, I believe in continuous development both professionally and personally. I find the greatest satisfaction in seeing my partners achieve tangible, long-term impact at the end of every day.
The Value I Bring
Business first. Before proposing HR processes, I make sure I understand the company’s strategy, culture and priorities. Solutions exist to deliver results, not to fill an org chart.
Priorities, not everything at once. I built People functions from scratch in two fast-growing startups, including Deliveroo. I know what needs to come first and what can wait.
I know the role from the inside. I’ve been a People Manager and an HR Director: I’ve lived first-hand the constraints of those who manage people every day.
Less theory, more practice. Ready-to-use tools and hands-on support measured on results.
Some numbers
-
From 40 to 200 people in three years: Deliveroo’s growth, which I supported by building the People function

20 international markets where I supported Gi Group’s expansion, covering cultural integration and HR process implementation

3,500 employees involved in the post-M&A integration of two companies in Italy
