Bio
Ali el Abbassi
It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Gianluca! I had the pleasure of working with Gianluca for more than three years at ABB, collaborating on how to make our business more agile with the focus on continuous improvement and operational excellence I was particularly impressed by Gianluca’s ability to handle even the toughest subjects/clients—effortlessly. That skill often takes years to develop among LEAN management, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to hem… I’ve always in awe of Gianluca’s ability to command a room and get people on board with ideas—even people who were initially on completely different pages. His ability to juggle multiple projects was unlike any I’ve seen before and made a difference in the productivity level of our different teams within the division… A great, very talented leader…
