Ryan Donne, CA

Charismatic and Talented are the words I can use to describe Giovanni. I have had the pleasure of knowing Giovanni for over 5 years now, after we first met in finance classes at the University of Otago. We have worked closely throughout university and we competed together in a Business Case Competition in Pamplona, Spain. What has always impressed me about Giovanni is his ability to connect with a wide range of individuals and leave lasting impressions. In addition, his analytical competence and broad skill set are an asset to any team.

Giovanni can be termed as financial expert for the start up businesses. He did the financial for the business plan in Audacious competition organized by University of Otago. He got skills and can be further enhanced by working in a competitive environment.
