I enjoyed a nice amount of business coaching and a bit of personal coaching in 2021 from Antonio and his company Growthride. He has been the best coach I've worked with in my whole career. Somebody who is used to work on international board level in High Tech and Consumer Goods and has a deep understanding of the challenges technology companies and their leadership have whilst working in a fast changing environment. This definitely contributed to the quality of his advice. Last but not least he's also a very pleasant person to work with.
I have known Antonio for quite some time and most recently he engaged with us to provide hands-on guidance on how to best approach innovation as an end-to-end, cross-functional discipline. His ability to listen and understand fast the challenges and organisational context, coupled with his vast experience on innovation topics across a number of industries, makes Antonio a rather unique and valuable advisor. His functional expertise ranges from R&D to Marketing & Brand, from product management to board level, which provides him with a comprehensive view of the inner-workings of organisations and the challenges faced when driving digital transformation and innovation acceleration. I highly recommend Antonio for any company looking to create a step-function change in growth through innovation.
I have worked with Antonio between 2018-2020, as a head of Amadeus Research and Innovation team when we asked Growthride to help us drive more impact. Today, I can say "mission accomplished": we have become a bigger, stronger, business-driven innovation team, incubating few, yet promising businesses recognized by Amadeus as its future relays of growth. Antonio's work has been absolutely instrumental to this success: he helped establish solid foundations, by driving the creation of a sound strategy, fully supporting the corporate strategy of Amadeus, while ensuring we would engage all business units and stakeholders along the way. Today, 3 years after, the strategy we defined together is still the north star of my organisation, it has helped us navigate and come out stronger from the severe crisis our company and industry had to face. Antonio has been a trusted advisor and personal coach to me as a leader the whole time, and we are still in touch. I recommend Antonio and Growthride wholeheartedly, to any company willing to bring their innovation capability to the next level.
Most definitely, Antonio is one of the most passionate, committed, and multi-dimensional leaders I have had the pleasure to know. His depth of technical knowledge combined with his energizing curiosity fuels innovative creativity and inspires ingenious thinking. His strength is not only in collaboratively mapping the path but also journeying alongside to execute the plan. During our time together at Philips and in the subsequent years since, I have appreciated Antonio’s insights and encouragement on both a professional and personal level. He listens to understand, speaks to guide and encourage. Antonio gives nothing short of 100%.
I have known Antonio since 2009, first professionally as my direct manager, when he was the EVP and Chief of Innovation, Marketing and Strategy for Philips and subsequently as advisor and mentor. Antonio has the capability of look into very complex paradigms and structure them in such a way that the path forward towards efficiency seems simple. When we talk about innovation, marketing or strategy there are always multiple layers and dimensions to consider before making a decision. Here is where an end-to-end approach will help you to be more thorough, and Antonio is a master of this. I have learned enormously from him in this area. More often than not I run into Biotech R&D scientists who are geniuses in their fields, yet chaotic in their approach; Antonio’s expertise in applying a structured approach to innovation with the end vision in mind is the perfect complement in those settings. Last, and probably the most important for me, is the soft skills and human side which has to be taken into consideration in every change management. Antonio instills a management with care, a servant leadership, which makes an organization galvanize around his direction, with all team members being ready to go the extra mile out of commitment to him.
