Über Luisa
Statistics say that one of the worst organizational CEOs' and executives' headaches is their teams.
And when you ask their teams, they will point their finger at how the company is designed.
Luckily for you, that's a problem I've spent 20+ years helping organizations not have.
I work as a Project-Based Head of People Transformation, Leadership Development & Organizational Effectiveness Director, the one you bring in when your organization needs thinking that is both strategic and practical, built from continuous learning and years of experience lived inside and outside organizations, executing, leading teams, and driving transformation from the inside.
"Luisa took us by the hand and accompanied us on a leadership development journey, a path of growth and awareness both individual and as a team." — Laura Passoni, HR Manager, VELP Scientifica
What we would typically work on together:
- Leadership development strategy and capability building
- Organizational design and transformation
- Talent frameworks and clarity of ownership across leadership levels
- Executive coaching and team alignment at C-suite level
"Luisa's intervention facilitated us to focus on creating clear, agile, and actionable processes, thanks to a new internal, participative process based on sustainable engagement." — Giuseppe Basso, CEO & Partner, The CFO Centre Italy
No two organizations are the same, and neither is the work.
I've operated across industries and sizes, from 15 to 100,000+ employees, across industries.
Clients have included Coca-Cola, Pfizer, Amgen, Boston Consulting Group, Oliver Wyman, Stefanel, Invacare, State Street Bank, and Banca Intesa.
"The value Luisa was able to bring out is something definitely beneficial and truly independent from the company's size." — Ivan Porro, CEO, SurgiQ

Ausbildung und Abschlüsse
- High School Diploma in Foreign Languages and LiteraturesLiceo Linguistico Oxford1988If you got here, something more impactful for your business than my formal education already caught your eyes. But as we are here... Rather than following a traditional university path, I built my professional foundation through continuous advanced training, internationally recognized coaching credentials, and hands-on leadership across multiple businesses and organizational contexts. Early in my career, I also pursued training to support senior executive work in a Chief of Staff track. I later earned the PCC credential with ICF, the corresponding EMCC accreditation as Executive Leadership Coach and Business Development Coach, and an ICF mentoring qualification. My certified toolkit also includes: - Team Coaching and Group Coaching - Emotional Intelligence assessment and debriefing - Effective Communication assessment and debriefing - Appreciative Inquiry - Business Development methodologies - Multiple leadership and organizational assessment instruments Over the past 20+ years, alongside founding and leading 12 businesses across two continents and multiple industries, I have continuously invested in advanced learning in organizational development, leadership development, effective communication, organizational dynamics, project management, agile ways of working, organizational design, and executive-level business leadership. Since 2022, I have been actively integrating AI into my work, with a particular focus on decision-making, leadership effectiveness, capability building, and the design of more adaptive organizations.
