Senior Advisor 

ETNICITY Group

The ETNICITY Group served as a holding company for a diverse gig economy portfolio, including corporate gigs, creative gigs and speaking/teaching gigs across Europe, US and the Middle East.

CORPORATE GIGS
Most corporate gigs related to helping organizations develop, implement or manage Organizational Strategy, usually including some or all of the following: Growth Strategy, Restructuring, Transformation, Talent, Organizational Design and Culture. I worked in a variety of advisory roles, including Advisory Board Membership and Senior Advisor, as well as Interim C-suite roles.


CREATIVE GIGS
I did most of my creative gigs under the sub brand  'Free ICECREAM', a creative agency and production setup that developed and produced (independent) film and documentaries including 'SHE' an award-winning documentary about female empowerment in the Middle East that has been an official film festival selection across multiple cities in the world. In addition I provided creative consulting and concepting work for leading global retailers and consumer brands ranging from branding, strategy and design to full production and fit-out. I've worked with leading global lifestyle brands, global retailers and regional festivals on pop-up store designs, shop-in-shop design and fit-outs, marketing videos and activations. 

Last but not least, I launched and operated ETNICITY,  a contemporary menswear fashion label based out of Dubai.


SPEAKING & TEACHING GIGS
My teaching gigs included global conferences e.g. CIPD, SHRM18, SHRM19, SHRM ANALYTICS, as well as workshops, lectures and master classes for leading regional companies and universities on Managing Change, Creativity & Innovation, Strategy & Transformation, Strategic HR and People Analytics.

Dubai Chapter Partner

Hi there, welcome to my LinkedIn page!

My name is Giovanni, but most people call me Gio. I'm a Harvard Business School alum (GMP21) and a former strategy consultant  / professional problem solver / fixer who went from Chief People Officer in a rapid growth startup to serving in management / board roles where I balance innovation and growth with regular institutional business strategy & execution. 

Currently, I'm serving as the Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer for a medium-sized bank in Dubai, where I look after Strategy, Transformation, ESG, CX, BI, Fintech Partnerships, the Innovation Lab, Web3 & AI. 

At the bank, I also Head our Venture Arm, where I've invested in a Stanford AI / synthetic data startup and an agricultural renewal / carbon credit AI startup (Earth Shot prize winner, Time Magazine's Most Innovative Companies 2024), as well as a leading geospatial holographics company.

Outside these roles, I serve on the Board of startups and entities, including the Steering Board of Tumar, a fund between the World Bank and the Government of Kazakhstan. I also work in an advisory capacity to governments, where I've brokered bilateral trade agreements and partnerships.

I'm extremely bullish on AI, AR, and robotics and advise several startups and funds in a formal or informal capacity. I'm super passionate about finding use cases for Web3 (DeFi, tokenization, digital assets) for traditional markets and sustainability.

Here are some things I'm particularly good at:
Strategy, Growth, Scaling & Culture
Transformation, Turnaround & Restructuring
Mentoring, Advisory & Leadership 
Storytelling, Branding & Communications
Translating the future into the present

One thing has become incredibly clear to me over the years: I strongly prefer (re)building, growing or transforming over administrating and maintaining (I tried, it’s just not for me). 
I love working on things that I’m passionate about, with great people I can look up to, who share a natural curiosity towards learning and trying new things.

To satisfy my creative needs I used to operate a creative agency that has worked with brands like Vans, G-Shock, Virgin and Bloomingdales. Our proudest moment was the production of 'SHE', an award-winning documentary on women empowerment. 

Lastly, I speak at events and podcasts, do some opinion piece writing and teaching - which I love. I’m a storyteller at heart, and all of these outlets are just different outlets to express myself. 

I'm a member of YPO, the Harvard Club of NY, The Future Club and Forbes Legacy Pass Web3 private members club.
