MISSION

To show startups, small and medium-sized companies what I see from the road: which territories they are traveling through, and why — so that they can decide.

VALUES

Respect for agreements · Honesty · Discipline · Independence · One job at a time

ETHICS

  • The basic rule: agreements are respected. No payment for my work in advance — not even a deposit.
  • If, within the first three days, you don’t like the way I work, I leave — and you don’t pay me.
  • If I stay, you receive a written report every week, signed by me.
  • One job at a time. I never take on a new one until the current one is closed.
  • I come to you, the way an auditor does.
  • Where I work, I need an office, a secretary, a fixed desk, and a mobile phone with a local number available to me.
  • I have no fixed hours. I am nobody’s employee.
  • Meetings are not free. The fee is shared only once your request is accepted.
  • Payment in US dollars only.
  • Taxes are paid where the work is done: in every country I work in, according to its laws.
  • No expense reimbursements. Travel, hotels and meals are planned and paid in advance by the one who invites, with round-trip flight tickets on flexible dates.
  • I travel by plane, train, bus or ship. Never by car.
  • Four-star hotels, minimum.
  • Breakfast and dinner included. Lunch is a break: a hot dog or a pizza is enough.
  • Full six-month health insurance, paid by the one who invites, including repatriation of the body to Italy.
  • I never accept proposals or offers from multinational corporations. They pay little, they want double, and they are never satisfied.

These are not conditions. This is personality.
