About Davide

I support leaders and organizations when relationships, communication, and change become the real challenge.

With over 25 years of international experience, I work at the intersection of leadership development, organizational dynamics, and complex human interactions. My background combines hands-on executive roles, including Interim CEO, with work as an adjunct professor in executive education and leadership programs.

I have designed and delivered programs for senior executives across global organizations, including clients such as UNICredit, JTI, and Xerox, focusing on high-stakes communication, difficult conversations, and navigating organizational change.

My work is grounded in real-world experience: from leading organizational transitions to working in high-complexity environments with diverse stakeholders. I specialize in helping leaders manage tension, build trust, and operate effectively in uncertain and demanding contexts.

Over the years, I have developed a practical and experience-based approach that integrates leadership, emotional intelligence, and relational dynamics, enabling individuals and teams to move from conflict and fragmentation to alignment and collaboration.

I typically work through workshops, leadership programs, and targeted interventions designed to create measurable impact in both individual performance and organizational culture.
