From this, Andrea discusses the fundamental competencies for professionals and all those who want to be protagonists of this transformation from the following points:
“Andrea is a 'pushing-forward' leader. He is the kind of client who knows how to boost any creative process, giving freedom to creators and respecting your knowledges and experiences. He gives confidence and promote a great environment to innovation. Besides it, he has the pulse for new business. Kind of guy who makes you feel a little bit better even after a short conversation.”
“Andrea is great with people and to people around him. Working with him you can always expect a high level of determination and results. Andrea is an true entrepreneur everyone should be around to learn, grow, and succeed.”
“Andrea is more than I highly-skilled and versatile professional, he is in essence a go-getter and a curious soul. Whether you need to design a go-to-market strategy, negotiate a world-wide partnership or have an insightful conversation about the state-of-art technologies, you can count on him. Andrea’s life trajectory is inspiring and a proof of his constant desire to expand his horizons. I’m always impressed by his ability to captivate people and the energy he brings to the table.”
“Andrea é um dos líderes mais inspiradores que conheço. Não apenas pela sensibilidade humana que o torna acessível, mentor de muitas pessoas (geridas ou não por ele) e incentivador de ideias, mas também pelo seu conhecimento do universo digital e de marketing, vontade incessante de aprender e curiosidade. Todos esses fatores me fazem ser eternamente grata pela nossa troca profissional e pessoal!”
“Visionário, corajoso e à frente do seu tempo, estes são só alguns adjetivos para ilustrar uma pessoa que transcende as habilidades profissionais. O Andrea é o tipo de pessoa que você quer ter por perto. Enxerga além do que os olhos conseguem ver, aplicando seus conhecimentos nos negócios mas também no desenvolvimento humano apoiado na transformação digital. Não é por acaso que esse italiano, que já tem um pouco de sangue brasileiro, vem construindo uma trajetória de sucesso e inspirando as pessoas por onde ele passa.”
