Simple philosophy alert!



1. Managers are the most impactful force in modern organizations.
2. Senior leaders who can direct this force lead successful organizations.

I can help create both.

Who is this guy?

For the past 22 years, I've helped build the World's most powerful Navy. I have led impactful teams in contested environments and I'm responsible for producing over 7K leaders. 

I'm on a mission to help 10 million leaders chart a new path forward, optimize their management, and lead the charge for high performance and well-being at work.

Two more things:

1. I post daily about leadership. Share One Pro Tip. You can hit follow, and you'll see my post.

2. I am known as The Management Optimizer because it sounds better than Management Yoda.

I would like to know about you. 👋Feel free to DM me.

Business Analyst

Paola has provided hands-on leadership support to under-performing businesses for almost two decades. She guides teams through unfamiliar situations, helps them develop achievable and effective plans and embraces leadership responsibility when executive roles need to be filled.

Paola’s passion for turning around organizations was first inspired as she completed her thesis on the topic as part of her bachelor’s degree at Bocconi University. Her thirst for knowledge and determination to make a difference was fueled by working with the most respected turnaround experts at Brugger & Associati and then at AlixPartners. Her development as an expert in her own right was recognized at each career milestone as she advanced to become a Turnaround Director. 

Paola’s professional growth while leading challenging transformation programs rests on solid foundations of personal resilience, humility and creativity in problem solving. She has demonstrated strong leadership skills and has augmented her deep emotional intelligence by studying and applying Enneagram and Coaching techniques. Teams who have worked with Paola recognize her talent for proactively anticipating issues, visioning solutions, creating a team culture and building trust.

Paola has taken numerous interim executive management roles and honed her decision-making skills while driving transformations for domestic and international companies. Paola is a skilled CFO with experience across a wide spectrum of industries. 

Paola generously invest time to share her professional knowledge and experience with future leaders. Every year since graduation from Bocconi University, Paola has been invited back as a teaching assistant specializing in Corporate Finance.

Outside of business, Paola plays piano. She feels privileged to be an ambassador of the Personal Empowerment School and its mission. Paola continues her studies to further build her expertise in coaching others and is already ACTP certified.
