Bio
Marco Carniello
Daniele is an experienced professional in the events business, he is an energetic leader of teams and he is a strong business developer. While working in the same Group with Daniele, I appreciated his approach in leading business transformation and managing people through changes in strategy and approach.
Gian Luca Teppati
I worked with Daniele in a change management path for the company of which he was general manager. His humanity, the ability to know how to get involved and to know how to look to the future with energy and optimism have allowed a serene and profitable team work. When Daniele works (and not only) he puts his heart into it.
