As a People & Organisation Director and Executive Coach, I coach leaders to drive culture change and develop and engage employees to deliver high performance, innovation, and customer value.
If you are a senior leader or executive, I can provide you
targeted support to refine your leadership competencies, support you to develop your team and guide you in changing and transforming the business and culture.
Are you about to, or have you recently, moved to a new role that is presenting you with unexpected difficulties? Are you looking for support to achieve the best start while onboarding in a new role with increased responsibilities?
After guiding people in their personal development for more than 20 years, I can help you understand your strengths and weaknesses, uncover blind spots, simplify difficult decisions, especially if you have moved to a different international context with complex cultural ambiguities.
My role is to help you recognise your unique ability, attitude and competencies and support you in developing these to achieve the objectives you set for yourself.
If you are leading a significant restructuring at business unit or company level I will support you in designing complex change management processes that are critical to the success of your restructuring.
Significant challenges require a bold approach and an aptitude to taking reasoned creative risks.
My role is to encourage you to explore new ideas and creative alternatives.
I can guide your efforts in simplifying the cultural complexities and identify the best strategies to manage the complete change journey up to its successful conclusion.
You will commit to concrete actions for yourself and your teams and follow through with determination and perseverance.
If you intend to improve the effectiveness of your immediate team, your business unit or your company, especially in an international context where cultural factors make the objective more ambiguous and challenging, I can add real value to your endeavours.
Leadership is about recognising diversity in human nature, harnessing, and celebrating how we differ from each other to enhance creativity and
innovation. We will identify engagement factors, define communication strategies and development actions for your team members.
Together we will implement powerful actions aimed at increasing the performance and engagement of your team.

He has an incredible talent for recognizing strengths and helping to refine them, while also providing the right level of challenge to foster growth. His ability to offer tailored advice and constructive feedback was instrumental in helping me advance my career.
During my time as a manager, his guidance played a critical role in helping me refine my leadership abilities and expand my strategic thinking. Thanks to Francesco’s valuable coaching and mentoring I have progressed to Director position overseeing entire region.

On a personal note, Francesco is a warm, empathetic, and genuine human being. His approachability and kindness make him a pleasure to work with, and his ability to connect on a human level sets him apart.
Francesco was my manager for three years when he was assigned to Toyota Motor Asia Pacific. Despit this being his first post to Asia and not having any prior experience or background in government affairs, Francesco quickly integrated and proved to be an effective leader of a very diverse and international team bringing new and often challenging ways of thinking.
What left the strongest impression is Francesco’s inclusive and participative leadership style. He is very open to listening, taking on board suggestions and always explains the rationale of this decisions while not hesitating to have sometimes difficult but necessary conversations. This was possible due to the fact that he sincerely has your interest at heart. It was an invaluable experience working with him and one I definitely consider a privilege.
Reflecting on my time working with Francesco, I can honestly say he changed the course of my life. From the moment I started to work with him, he became more than just a boss—he was a mentor, a guide, and a true coach. His unwavering belief in my potential gave me the courage to step out of my comfort zone and embrace challenges I never thought I could overcome.
He didn’t just lead; he nurtured, pushing me to grow in ways I didn’t realize were possible. The freedom he gave me was paired with just the right amount of challenge, always encouraging me to reach higher, dream bigger, and believe in myself. The lessons I learned from him continue to shape my journey, both personally and professionally. His impact is something I carry with me every day, and I am deeply grateful for the time we shared. Anyone who has the privilege of being coached by him will not just find a coach—they’ll find someone who truly cares about their growth and success, as he did with me.
