I specialize in cultural and organizational change, digital transformation, and decision-support systems, working with C-level stakeholders and multi-national teams to deliver sustainable results across Automotive, Banking, Logistics, Retail and Startups. Worked also in pre-M&A and post-M&A integration activities, reporting respectively to CFO/COO and CEO. I’ve led project, program, portfolio, contract and vendor audits, recovered distressed initiatives, managed key accounts, negotiated contracts, and designed and delivered training, including project management training and on-the-job coaching. My deep industry exposure includes Automotive, Banking, Logistics, Outsourcing Retail, and Startups, with additional experience in Public Sector in Italy. I am actively seeking missions (full-time or flexible) across English, French, Italian, with additional languages as a plus. I’m open mainly to remote, but willing to discuss hybrid, or on-site arrangements in the EU/EEA. I can engage in pre-paid fixed-price feasibility studies or mini-projects for final customers, or time and material. Since 1990 I’ve combined change management with IT and data-driven approaches, and I continue to publish and research on organizational change, data, and AI-enabled decision support. I maintain an ongoing portfolio of extended case studies, publications, and research through my sites, and I volunteered on PMI PPPMO and AU standards revisions, and IFRS-related in sustainability.…
