‘I had the privilege of helping a CEO and their C-level team lead their company beyond Italy’s borders for the first time. Supporting them as they stepped into new European markets, I saw up close what it takes to lead through uncertainty. That experience deepened my commitment to helping leaders find clarity, build resilience, and succeed when the stakes are high.’
