Business leadership and people development
Shaping
change
A boutique of skills and experience working alongside Italian SMEs, family-owned or backed by private equity, at the moments that matter. Every company has its own fingerprint: we add a line, the fingerprint stays yours.
Our approach
Strengthen, not replace
We come in to grow the company’s own capabilities, and we step back once they are its own. Our presence fades, your fingerprint takes shape.

Frequently asked questions
Do you only work with companies in crisis?
No. We also work on growth, generational handovers and organisational change.
What is the difference between interim and fractional?
An interim (temporary) manager takes on a full operational role for a fixed term; a fractional manager provides an ongoing presence for part of the week.
Do you also handle the legal side of crisis procedures?
We provide management support. Legal, tax and certification work is the responsibility of the appointed licensed professionals, with whom we coordinate.
