I engaged with Alessandro as I was transitioning into a Head of Engineering role for the first time - a period with no shortage of uncertainty and pressure. What stood out immediately was his wisdom. Alessandro seemingly had a pithy anecdote or framework for every situation, and his depth and range of experience came through clearly in that respect. Alessandro’s approach as a mentor is inquisitive and thoughtful. He never jumped to conclusions; he took the time to understand the nuances of my situation before offering perspective, whilst also sharing freely from his own experiences. That combination made his guidance specific and actionably, and helped me clarify my own thinking and consequently make better decisions. I also appreciated that our sessions didn’t feel transactional. There was a warmth and curiosity on his side that made the whole experience feel grounded and genuine. If you’re stepping into a leadership role for the first time or navigating a difficult transition, I’d warmly recommend working with Alessandro. I’d welcome the opportunity to do so again myself.
