Giovanni Montesanti
Giovanni Montesanti has a mosaic background – exposed to many different ways of working and several different cultures. He has tangibly demonstrated a clear ability to amalgamate those experiences into a coherent whole.
He will impress both internal partners and external clients as much with the quality of my strategic & long-range thinking as with the strong technical skill-set he brings to the table.
Visionary perspective with crystal view of the future. Significant expertise in communication including: Integrated marketing communication strategy and marketing communication campaign, orchestration of all touch points on marketing communication and overall brand, develop digital media strategy and digital media planning, advertising agency management, marketing communication plan, marketing event & executions, and product branding.
As an experienced Change Agent & Partnership Management, he will be ever cognizant that this is a journey. He certainly has a bias for risk-taking and will err on the side of bold thinking rather than playing it safe.
Fearless in the face of even difficult situations – indeed, likely attracted to steep learning curves and complex change management challenges – he focuses on the positives, establishes clear priorities in keeping the overall marketing vision, and acts with speed to both optimize under-performing members of the team and capitalizes on and expand its existing strengths. Possessing incredible learning agility and a results-oriented mind-set.
He is focused on total human centricity with a deeper understanding of the ecosystem, the consumers & customers’ needs and wants, and community authenticity.
Able to spot trends and connect the dots. He can see around the corner. Looking at the same data that others have available, he identifies issues that most pass by or ignore.
