Bio
Jeremy Brewster
Gianni is a person I grew to know very well in university. Despite seeing Gianni excel in many areas of college, what really struck me about him was his mentality. A mentality to win, a mentality to have a positive impact, but most deeply, a mentality to constantly improve. When I think about Gianni, it is this drive that most defines him. Whether it was on the football field training after others had gone home, in the classroom trying to crack a problem, or just in his personal time reading books & practicing yoga, Gianni was always thinking of ways to take himself to the next level. Coupled with his great people’s skills, his international background, and his language and cultural dexterity, Gianni is a person who has a lot of necessary tools to solve any problem. With this in mind, when deciding whether or not you want Gianni on your team, know that the Gianni you meet today will be even better next year and in the year after that. That sort of trajectory and constant improvement is what every individual and organization should strive for.
