Fabio Martinelli - Executive & Advisor

In over 20 years of C-level leadership I served as CEO, COO, CFO and Board Member of a wide set of companies: FTSE EuroTop 100, PE-backed, VC-backed and family-owned, in industries such as tech, financial services, insurance, food & beverages, industrial, manufacturing, consulting, music & entertainment. My clients, mature companies as well as startups, are based in Italy, Serbia, US, UK, Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic, Bosnia, Montenegro.

Over and over again, alongside shareholders, I navigated particularly delicate moments such as generational changes, crises, opportunities to enter new markets, joint ventures, M&A activities and many other challenging situations. The work I did translated into very tangible results: double-digit increase in profitability, strategic alignment and focus, successful reorganizations and improved access to funding.

My results can be ascribed to two key factors: (1) my strong academic background: a law degree from the University of Bologna, a Master's Degree in Corporate Finance and Management Accounting and an Executive MBA, both from Bologna Business School, and (2) my positive and energizing attitude. Those who interact with me soon realize that I am a clear-thinker with an open mind who always tells it like it is and works rationally and efficiently. Humble enough to know what I don't know, I push forward with determination when the best course of action is decided.

I speak fluent English, Italian and Serbian, and I can't stand BS, time-wasting and stupidity.
