“During my life as a manager, I often had to train myself to constantly deal with very diverse situations where I often felt alone and carried too much weight on my shoulders. On the other hand, in my practice of competitive sports, I have always been coached, it was obvious to progress. I joined Visconti Partners to help solve this paradox and put my experience at the service of creating value for managers and their businesses. I found the keys to challenge them positively and with kindness in a world where nothing is taken for granted and where companies must constantly reinvent themselves.”
