Nanni Grossi

Andrea worked for me for 4+ years as CFO while I was Founder and CEO of Board International. Andrea is the best CFO I have known during my personal career. He is very expert and a strong worker, he gave me a big help during the Company evaluation and the due diligence to prepare the offering for the Private Equities. He knows all the techniques to better manage the financial and administrative part of a large Company.

Francesco Racheli

Andrea is an outstanding professional with enormous commitment to excellence. He is extremely precise and the financial reporting packages he would coordinate for the board and shareholders meetings were the best i have ever seen in my career. He is a very hard worker always striving for integrity with an unparalleled attention to details. I strongly recommend him for CFO or apical roles (including directorship) in large or mid cap companies (publicly traded or privately owned).
