Testimonials

Below are some testimonials from our clients regarding the results their companies have achieved, in part thanks to our support.
Aimone Burani

Vice President and Executive Director - Emak Spa

Mondaini Partners supported the EMAK Group in redesigning its key organizational processes and leveraging its intangible capital, i.e., all those key assets that determine the company's ability to create value and competitive positioning, but which are rarely reflected in financial statements and public documents.Thanks to their intervention, we now have innovative dashboards and tools that have helped us both strengthen the execution capacity of our top management and significantly improve communication processes with investors and the financial community.For a dynamic, innovative, and international company like ours, this represents one of the key pillars of competitive advantage.We were truly very satisfied, both with the effectiveness and efficiency with which the entire project was conducted.”
Alessandra Andalò

Partner and Administrator - CEDiR Spa

" The professionals at Mondaini Partners worked closely with the client family to manage the entire process of restructuring and relaunching the company, which involved several critical business activities: changing the business model, reorganizing and managing a major workforce reduction plan, financial management, relations with banks and suppliers, the search for industrial partners, and the implementation of the Debt Restructuring Agreement.Right from the start, the consultants at Mondaini Partners struck me as reliable, professional, and knowledgeable in the various areas where their expertise was needed.Over time, I have also come to greatly appreciate the approach to managing complex situations, such as the one involving Cedir SpA—an approach that was crucial to the success of the restructuring project.In short: skilled, reliable, and effective.“The work carried out by Mondaini Partners was indispensable for a key merger with another industrial group.”
Alessandro Massa

Marketing Manager and Board of Directors - Galletti Spa

We turned to the professionals at Mondaini Partners to develop a plan aimed at establishing guidelines for our new medium-term development plan and introducing a new marketing system. The work we carried out together with the consultants has enabled us to:1) Initiate a constructive discussion within management on how to leverage our company’s strengths; 2) analyze and redefine the new target positioning; 3) identify our brand positioning and the key actions to support it; 4) Next, initiate a process to involve management in planning activities and in setting departmental and company-wide priorities. The results achieved, combined with the professionalism and expertise of the professionals at Mondaini Partners, have led us to decide to continue our collaboration for the subsequent phases of the project, which focus on strengthening governance and execution.
Alessandro Perini

General Manager - Cantine Romagnoli Srl

"Together with the professionals at Mondaini Partners, we managed my departure from the family business and my transition to the Bertola Spa group, with me taking full management of Romagnoli.We also explored the topic of startups, and this important journey led me to first establish Apitec Srl and later Squisito SRL.Programming, Planning, Cash Flow Management, Generational Succession, Business Planning, and Business Model Analysis are some of the key skills that the professionals at Mondaini Partners have taught me through a practical and professional approach.Having top-notch coaches like Davide, Massimo, and Anna has allowed me to keep exploring new strategies and methods, rather than staying stuck in my usual comfort zone.“Having been able to anticipate certain issues related to market imbalances, governance, and strategy has allowed me to continue looking optimistically toward opportunities even in the midst of the pandemic crisis.”

Claudio Dodici

Founder and CEO - TRS Srl

“After parting ways with my former partners, my company found itself facing severe financial strain, which threatened to jeopardize the continuity of a business that, despite everything, was growing at a promising rate.”I therefore decided to turn to the professionals at Mondaini Partner for assistance with restructuring my bank debt and restoring my financial stability.Thanks to them, we were able to develop a credible financial plan, which allowed us to renegotiate our existing loans with the banks—securing payment deferrals and rescheduling—and to secure the new financing needed to support industrial investments and growth.“On the internal front, Mondaini Partners helped us establish the processes and tools for financial planning, and today we are better able to plan, monitor, and manage our cash flows.”The professionals at Mondaini Partners helped my company make the most of the strengths outlined in the Strategic Plan and properly communicate them to all stakeholders, including banks.“Their support was therefore crucial to the success of our revitalization and relaunch initiative.”
Claudio Roleri

Partner, Director, and Sales Director - Vetreria Cappelletti e Roleri Srl

“Mondaini Partners guided us through the process of opening up my company's capital to a new industrial entity.”They guided us through every step of the process: from the initial phase of identifying the ideal partner, through the search, to the phase of support for the equity investment.In addition, the professionals at Mondaini Partners have supported us both in the development and implementation of medium-term development plans and in short-term planning and operational management.Thanks to their support, we were able to undertake the necessary strategic changes and gradually transform our organization, achieving, step by step, all the goals we had set for ourselves: improved financial stability, expanded operations, and increased sales.I am currently undergoing a personal transformation aimed at adopting a more managerial and strategic approach to running my company, as opposed to the predominantly operational and reactive approach I took in the past.In other words: they really made a difference.

Enrico Sandrini

General Manager - Samo Spa

"Together with the professionals at Mondaini Partners, we designed and implemented a comprehensive plan to restructure the company’s business model, which involved bringing in new shareholders and divesting certain business units.In fact, the company has been split into three divisions: industrial, international sales, and domestic sales.For each of these divisions, an industrial partner was then identified that invested in the project to support the next phase of the business turnaround.In particular, I became General Manager of the industrial division, which had been relaunched by a major American company in the sector.At the same time, Mondaini Partners oversaw the entire debt restructuring process.“Working side by side with the professionals at Mondaini Partners has allowed me to appreciate their expertise and effectiveness in designing and executing complex strategic transformation and business revitalization projects, including through the opening of the company’s capital to new shareholders.”
Enrico Vaccari

We turned to the professionals at Mondaini Partners, and specifically Davide Mondaini, to develop a structured process aimed at building the guidelines for our new medium-term development project and introducing a new governance and management system.The activities carried out allowed us to achieve the following objectives: - to initiate a constructive discussion within the management team on how to further leverage our company's strengths; - to develop, with the involvement of our managers, a structured strategic and organizational assessment, led by Davide Mondaini, aimed at developing the guidelines for our development plan; - to develop a new marketing system and the fundamental concepts of objective positioning.“The results achieved through this initiative, combined with the professionalism and expertise demonstrated by Davide, led us to decide to enlist his assistance for the subsequent phases of the project, which involve further strengthening governance and execution.”
Francesca Colla

Partner and Quality Manager - Colla Spa

“The professionals at Mondaini Partners have worked closely with my family business to implement a new organizational model capable of making a significant contribution to our governance system and to the ongoing transformation and improvement of our core business processes.”Thanks to a rigorous and professional approach, as well as on-the-job training provided by their experts, the project has led to the development of both senior and non-senior internal staff in terms of their understanding and adoption of the organizational model and risk management model.The project enabled us to work together and exchange ideas at all levels of the company in a focused and systematic manner on organizational issues: formalizing existing but previously informal operating procedures, and establishing new procedures whenever areas of risk emerged that had not been adequately addressed.The work carried out also laid the groundwork for future progress and improvements in the effectiveness and efficiency of business workflows.“The results achieved have lived up to all the project's promises; I would definitely recommend the professionals at Mondaini Partners—they are professional and effective.”

“Mondaini Partners has been supporting my company for several years in initiatives aimed at transforming and revitalizing our business and organizational structure. Thanks to their support, we have been able to overcome difficult times and subsequently launch a decisive turnaround of our business and completely overhaul our entire management system.”Their collaboration with the banking sector was also crucial, as it enabled us to restructure our debts and secure new financing.Furthermore, the professionals at Mondaini Partners, with their diverse and wide-ranging experience and expertise, have embraced our new business, “Numbering,” with enthusiasm and professionalism.A project based on an idea of mine that uses SAS's sintering process to create a one-of-a-kind, custom ring.For this new challenge, the team at Mondaini Partners has also supported me with strategic marketing and social media initiatives, forging effective partnerships and identifying competent and professional experts who are working alongside me to turn this project into a concrete, solid, and continuously growing enterprise.“I have recommended Mondaini Partners to several fellow entrepreneurs, who have all expressed their sincere gratitude for the referral.”

  • the evaluation of the potential and impacts resulting from integration;
  • the construction of the medium-term Strategic – Organizational – Financial Plan;
  • communication and promotion of the Plan externally (banks and key stakeholders).
The consultants carried out all phases of the project with great professionalism and effectiveness: from the development of all due diligence measures; business due diligence, organizational due diligence, and financial due diligence.Equally important was their support in explaining the integration plan to credit institutions. During this activity, we were able to appreciate the credibility these professionals boasted towards the banking system.Their approach and the method adopted to conduct the operation were also highly appreciated by all the internal managers who collaborated in developing the project and drafting the strategic plan."
Giorgio Tanzi

Partner and General Manager - Elprom

"After years of growth, our family business was facing some difficulties.The business strategy we had been implementing was no longer yielding positive results.Mondaini Partners' work really opened our eyes.We understood that our greatest asset was not our ability to conquer new countries but the know-how we possessed on certain types of innovative electric motors.We have therefore radically overhauled our business plan and strategy.Without their intervention, the company would not only have been unable to devise a successful turnaround plan, but would almost certainly have gradually exited the market…“The activities carried out by Mondaini Partners ultimately led to a major merger with another industrial group.”
Giuliano Gobbi

Partner and CEO - CEG Spa

“When we began working with the professionals at Mondaini Partners, our company was facing a number of issues in terms of both governance and organization.”The presence of many partners, some of whom were involved in operational roles within the company, had created an organizational complexity that we could no longer manage.As a result, we were steadily losing efficiency in our internal processes and competitiveness in the market.Thanks to the support of Mondaini Partners, we have been able to formalize relationships both within the corporate structure and among top management, and to introduce new systems and methodologies to rethink and strengthen key business processes, including: performance planning and monitoring, production, inventory management, and logistics.They also helped us reorganize our production and logistics layouts, which enabled us to significantly improve efficiency and reduce internal costs.“Mondaini Partners has successfully completed a merger transaction between our company and another industrial group.”
Giuseppe Colaiacovo

Partner and Vice President - COLACEM Spa

"The professionals at Mondaini Partners supported my family through the delicate process of restructuring the Colacem Group's corporate structure.In particular, their support has focused on the GOLD Group, which is part of the branch of the family led by me and operates in various sectors, including the production of building materials, raw materials, telecommunications, and industrial plant engineering.Thanks to their involvement, we have been able to streamline the various business areas in which the Group operates and strike a new balance between family interests and the governance of our subsidiaries.We have also introduced new management systems and new planning and control tools, which have enabled us to improve our ability to formulate and implement medium-term strategies.“The work carried out by Mondaini Partners was also instrumental in assessing our company's capital.”
Giuseppe Vaccari

This enabled us to change unproductive management practices and thereby improve internal efficiency.“They are currently assisting us with great professionalism and efficiency in developing our medium-term strategic plan and establishing the right positioning for our company in our target markets, with the aim of achieving a sustainable turnaround.”
Ivano Valmori

Founder and CEO - Image Line Srl

“The professionals at Mondaini Partners helped me develop my company's strategic plan, update it annually, and communicate it effectively to the banks.”The creation of the “intangible assets dashboard” has been particularly useful, as it allows me to define, monitor, and leverage the company's key assets (relational, human, organizational, and intellectual capital).The professionals at Mondaini Partners helped me better communicate Image Line’s business model, the value of its intangible assets, and its future strategies and goals to external stakeholders, particularly banks.Thanks to their support, I was able to secure the new financing needed to fund investments in the company’s growth and expansion, thereby reducing the need for short-term asset sales and gaining direct access to medium- to long-term financing.Now the banking sector is fully aware of Image Line’s financial figures and business strategies and is actively involved in its development plans.Today, together with the Mondaini Partners team, we are working on the managerial development of my internal team and on building a new model for sales development.“The work carried out by Mondaini Partners was also essential in evaluating extraordinary transactions involving our company's capital.”
Jacopo Colonna

Administrator and General Manager - Aliva Srl

“We turned to the professionals at Mondaini Partners—and specifically to Davide Mondaini—to develop a structured plan aimed at establishing the guidelines for our new medium-term development project and introducing a new governance and management system.”The activities we carried out enabled us to achieve the following objectives. Objectives achieved: - to initiate a constructive discussion within the management team on how to further capitalize on our company’s strengths;- to conduct, together with our managers, a structured strategic and organizational assessment led by Davide Mondaini, aimed at establishing the guidelines for our development plan;- to reflect on the evolution of our business model and the fundamental concepts of strategic positioning.“The results achieved through this initiative, combined with the professionalism and expertise demonstrated by Davide, led us to decide to enlist his assistance for the subsequent phases of the project, which involve further strengthening governance and execution.”
Luca Montebugnoli

Founder and President - Vivaticket Spa

“Mondaini Partners guided us through the delicate phase following Best Union's initial public offering.”During those years, the company I had founded with my sister and a few friends who shared a passion for event management was growing very quickly, thanks in part to the capital raised through the IPO.We had also acquired several companies abroad that operate in both the ticketing sector and related businesses.The process of rapid growth and international expansion required new skills and a radical overhaul of our business model—something we were unable to manage on our own.The professionals at Mondaini Partners helped us bridge this gap by providing the tools, methodologies, and—above all—the right mindset to successfully navigate the transition from a small family business to a large multinational group.“Thanks to them, we were able to grow the organization and develop our managers, a process that eventually led them to become shareholders following the company’s delisting from the stock exchange and its transformation into Vivaticket SpA.”
Luigi Fava

Partner and CEO - Fava Spa

"I turned to the professionals at Mondaini Partners to conduct a comprehensive organizational assessment of my company.I had been introduced to them by my brother Riccardo, CEO of Baltur Spa, who had already had the opportunity to work with Mondaini Partners and had come to appreciate their effectiveness. “In our case as well, the consulting engagement was carried out in line with the project objectives and according to the agreed-upon timeline, and I was able to appreciate their specific methodology for analyzing business activities and processes, which allowed us to obtain key insights and a fresh perspective on our organization in a relatively short period of time.”
Luigi Lo Vecchio

Socio e Direttore Finanziario - CAE Spa

“The professionals at Mondaini Partners assisted me in planning and executing my exit from the company where I was a partner, as well as in making certain strategic assessments and decisions that had a significant impact on my role and my future.”Throughout this engaging process, they demonstrated strong expertise and a keen understanding of how to manage even complex business situations. Furthermore, the project provided an opportunity to conduct a thorough assessment of our business operations and organizational structure. Even after I left the company, thanks to the professional reputation they had earned—including among the other partners—they received requests for other assignments. “This was followed by other projects, some of which were related to the ongoing generational transition, the development of the planning and control system, and the development of the Strategic Plan.”

Marco Rondelli

"Mondaini Partners assisted us in reorganizing the Group’s core processes through the analysis and reengineering of key activities.The initiative began at the Stuttgart branch, which was the largest in the entire Group at the time, and was then expanded to the other production facilities.Thanks to them, we have implemented new cost tracking and control systems based on the Activity-Based Costing methodology, and have significantly improved the efficiency and performance of our business and support processes.In addition, the management team involved in these initiatives has acquired new skills and methodologies through on-the-job training provided by Mondaini Partners’ professionals, which are now an integral part of our management systems.Finally, I would like to add that I felt a professional rapport with Mondaini Partners, whom I have since called upon for other projects as well."
Maurizio Casalini

"The professionals of Mondaini partners, who were introduced to me by Confindustria Piacenza, supported my family business in the following activities:
  • assistance for the management of the Interbank Agreement;
  • construction of the 3-year business and financial plan;
  • short and medium-term financial planning;
  • support for activities related to the search and selection of partners;
  • support for third-party operations;

Maurizio Saltari

  • reopening of foreign markets;
  • sales mix change;
  • construction of a new model for determining sales prices;
  • strengthening the team and managerial tools;
  • configuration of a new Strategic-Organizational Plan;
and search for industrial partnershave made a significant and tangible contribution to management.As a result of their intervention, the company's turnover recorded a significant increase (approximately 32% compared to the previous year).This significant jump in revenue was accompanied by a gradual but progressive improvement in margins (a rare achievement in such a short timeframe for companies in our sector) across all business areas and product lines. The average primary contribution margin (margin across all product lines) improved by approximately 11 percentage points, from 24% to 35%. These important results were achieved thanks to the great teamwork coordinated by Mondaini Partners and their ability to execute."
Michele Galletti

Partner and CEO - Galletti Spa

"We turned to the professionals at Mondaini Partners to develop a process aimed at establishing guidelines for our new medium-term development plan and introducing a new management system.

In addition, the project provided an opportunity to establish a financial management control system.With their support, we have achieved the following goals: introduced a new system to support the owners’ strategic decision-making, implemented a comprehensive management control system, and developed professional development programs for our key personnel.The positive evaluation of the work done, together with the professional consideration I gained from working with them, convinced me to assign Mondaini Partners several tasks as part of a multi-year relationship.”
Paolo Pettazzoni

“We were going through a period of stagnation, the market was uncertain, and we had to contend with fierce competitors who were very aggressive on pricing.”I felt we needed a real strategic shift; we couldn't put it off any longer.For this sensitive project, I turned to Mondaini Partners, which effectively supported my company in reorganizing and innovating our marketing and sales processes, as well as in managing our budgeting and management control processes.We have come to appreciate the professional support they provided in helping us transform our work processes and set our sights on revitalizing the company.With the support of Mondaini Partners, during the first lockdown—when our entire industry was scrambling to mitigate the damage—we devised and implemented a plan to innovate our sales system.A plan that allows us to expand our channels, innovate our value proposition to the market, and ultimately attract new customers and generate revenue. “Their contribution in terms of rigor and method was also highly effective, enabling the entire internal team involved to work with pace, rigor, and efficiency and to achieve the strategic change we had set as our goal.”
Riccardo Fava

Partner, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and General Manager - Baltur Spa

"Mondaini Partners helped my family’s business overcome a period of severe difficulty—a genuine decline caused primarily by the crisis in our main target market. The restructuring plan they helped us design and implement involved an initial stabilization phase to address the situation that had arisen, through the implementation of short- and very short-term emergency measures aimed at reducing costs and stemming the cash outflow.At the same time, the professionals at Mondaini Partners supported us in developing and implementing a medium-term restructuring plan. Thanks to their support, the timely nature of the measures taken, and an effective communication plan led by management, the company was able to mitigate the negative impact of the ongoing crisis and achieve, in a remarkably short time, all the key restructuring objectives outlined in the plan.

Roberto Malpensi

General Manager - GDM Spa

“The professionals at Mondaini Partners helped us design and implement the processes and tools for performance planning and monitoring within our production facility in Cremona.”In particular, we worked with them to focus on analyzing large contracts, which in our industry can be worth as much as several million euros each.We have introduced new project management and cost tracking techniques throughout the entire project lifecycle.Our managers now have the tools and methodologies they need to plan and monitor costs and profit margins in a timely and reliable manner, and this represents a real competitive advantage for us.Effective oversight of planning and management control processes, along with the continuous innovation of tools, are increasingly critical factors in managing and improving financial performance in a complex business environment such as ours.“And thanks to the support of Mondaini Partners, I can say that we've seen significant improvements in a number of areas.”
Stefano Andalò

Partner, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and General Manager - CEDiR Spa

“The professionals at Mondaini Partners supported my company through every stage of its restructuring and turnaround.”My family business was facing potential insolvency, and I needed help.Their team supported the General Management and the Board of Directors in all the activities necessary to restructure the business, the organization, and the financial debts owed to banks, suppliers, the tax authorities, and social security and welfare agencies.Thanks to their credibility and professionalism, we were able to design and implement a restructuring plan that made it possible to preserve the company’s operations and all jobs at one of the leading industrial groups in our sector.Throughout this challenging project, I also had the opportunity to appreciate their expertise in business and financial strategy, as well as in managing complex projects and relationships.The Mondaini Partners team has always risen to the occasion, and even during the project’s most challenging moments, they never gave up, enabling us to achieve truly extraordinary results.“The work carried out by Mondaini Partners was indispensable for a key merger with another industrial group.”
Stefano Maglia

Founder and CEO - TuttoAmbiente Spa

“The professionals at Mondaini Partners supported me throughout the entire exit process and my transition into a new business venture, which involved bringing an investment fund into my company and several business mergers.”I received highly professional and effective assistance throughout every stage of the special transaction: from the initial interactions with investors through the contractual phase to the closing.I've seen firsthand just how taxing an exit strategy can be for an entrepreneur. That is why I believe it is essential to be supported by professional and knowledgeable advisors; only then can the transaction be successfully completed.We worked side by side with the professionals, and together we got through some truly tough and challenging times. For example, the due diligence conducted by the investor put my company and my team through a grueling ordeal, but Mondaini Partners never gave up. With round-the-clock support, they guided all the professionals involved in the transaction—accountants, labor consultants, lawyers, and others—in an exemplary manner, leading the transaction to a successful conclusion.“Prior to this extraordinary transaction, I had already had the opportunity to work with Mondaini Partners on the development of a strategic plan, which proved to be the foundation for structuring a growth-oriented exit strategy.”
Stefano Maglia

Founder and CEO - TuttoAmbiente Spa

“I first met Davide Mondaini at a conference organized by my association, Confindustria Piacenza, where Davide was a speaker at a workshop titled: ‘How much is my company worth?’”After the workshop, I reached out to Mondaini Partners to discuss their involvement in the growth of my business. Right from the start, I realized we were “on the same page,” and so we began a fruitful collaboration. Together with Davide, we explored avenues for business growth and strengthened our marketing system at both the strategic and operational levels. This collaboration yielded several tangible benefits: it enabled us to innovate our market offering, allowing us to further differentiate ourselves from our competitors; it allowed us to design and produce new marketing materials; and it enabled us to develop new campaigns. “The benefits I have achieved have led me to request an extension of my contract with Mondaini Partners. In light of new growth opportunities for my company, the scope of the contract has been expanded to include not only marketing and sales support but also the development of a comprehensive strategic plan and assistance in identifying growth partners.”
Stefano Perini

CEO and Partner - Cantine4Valli Srl

“Mondaini Partners supported us through the delicate transition from a family-run business to a professionally managed company, helping our family establish governance structures, clarify the roles and responsibilities of the various family members working in the company, and plan and support decisions related to the generational transition.”These are issues that are very important to me, so much so that I am one of the founding members of Mondaini Partners’ research and study center: the Family Business Academy.My collaboration with Davide Mondaini has been instrumental in my development and growth, particularly when it comes to financial decisions.Furthermore, thanks to the support provided by the professionals at Mondaini Partners, I was able to explore various organizational and governance issues—particularly in the management of banks—and use their insights to clarify relationships among family members and between the family and the business.In addition, throughout the various projects, I have come to appreciate the team’s extensive expertise and professional dedication.“I've also recommended the professionals at Mondaini Partners to my fellow entrepreneurs, knowing I'd certainly make a good impression.”

“Mondaini Partners supported the company through a complex and multifaceted process of expansion and acquisitions, i.e., through external means.”When we began our partnership, Sirci was a small, disorganized industrial company, far from the optimal size needed to compete in a mature sector like ours.Thanks to Davide and his team, we first clarified the company’s medium-term strategy and developed a Strategic and Organizational Plan that is highly ambitious and represents a significant break from the past.The implementation phase then involved carrying out several extraordinary acquisitions and mergers with other companies in the sector that offered product-market combinations complementary to our own.At the same time, we have been working on strengthening our internal structure and organizational development, which are necessary to support our significant growth.In this way, within just a few years, we were able to launch GDS, which was formed through the merger of three long-standing brands: Sirci, Gresintex, and Dalmine Resine.The new company quickly established itself as one of the industry’s leading players, gaining market share and a competitive position that would have been impossible to achieve through standalone growth.
“Together with Mondaini Partners, we have planned and executed major initiatives that have been essential to our growth.”

“I was looking for professionals to consult with in order to gather ideas and information about the possibility of rebranding our company.” So, while doing a Google search, I came across an article published by the professionals at Mondaini Partners. I found their article, “How to Evaluate a Company’s Brand,” to be very interesting and well-written, so I decided to get in touch with Mondaini Partners. We therefore commissioned them to prepare a comprehensive assessment of our brand, including a business plan. The evaluation report was delivered to us on schedule and included detailed insights that I found extremely helpful in shaping our brand positioning strategies. I am referring in particular to what the professionals at Mondaini Partners shared with us during our meetings, using their proprietary methodology. Starting with a brand assessment, we were able to delve into the broader topic of a company’s intangible assets: human capital, organizational capital, relational capital, and intellectual capital. In conclusion, regarding the solutions and results delivered by the professionals at Mondaini Partners, I can certainly say that I am very satisfied with my choice and with the results achieved through their work.“The work carried out by Mondaini Partners also laid the groundwork for a special capital transaction involving our company.”

"Together with the professionals at Mondaini Partners, we designed and implemented a comprehensive plan to restructure the company’s business model, which involved bringing in new shareholders and divesting certain business units.In fact, the company has been split into three divisions: industrial, international sales, and domestic sales.For each of these divisions, an industrial partner was then identified that invested in the project to support the next phase of the business turnaround.In particular, I became General Manager of the industrial division, which had been relaunched by a major American company in the sector.At the same time, Mondaini Partners oversaw the entire debt restructuring process.“Working side by side with the professionals at Mondaini Partners has allowed me to appreciate their expertise and effectiveness in designing and executing complex strategic transformation and business revitalization projects, including through the opening of the company’s capital to new shareholders.”

“The professionals at Mondaini Partners supported my company during a critical phase of international relaunch and subsequent growth, assisting with strategic assessments and decisions that had a significant impact on the organization, its people, and certain financial aspects.”Throughout this process, they have demonstrated strong skills and a keen understanding of how to handle even complex business situations. In addition, the project provided an opportunity to establish a financial management control system.With their support, we have achieved the following goals: introduced a new system to support the owners’ strategic decision-making, implemented a comprehensive management control system, and developed professional development programs for our key personnel.“My positive assessment of the work they have done, combined with the professional respect I have developed through working with them, has led me to entrust Mondaini Partners with various projects as part of a long-term partnership.”

“We once again turned to the professionals at Mondaini Partners—and in particular to Davide Mondaini—to develop a structured framework aimed at establishing the guidelines for our new medium-term development plan and implementing a new governance and management system.” The activities we carried out enabled us to achieve the following objectives: - to initiate a constructive dialogue within the Management Team on how to further leverage our company’s strengths; - to conduct, with the involvement of our managers, a structured strategic and organizational assessment led by Davide Mondaini, aimed at establishing the guidelines for our development plan.“The results achieved through this initiative, combined with the professionalism and expertise demonstrated by Davide, led us to decide to enlist his assistance for the subsequent phases of the project as well, which involve further strengthening governance and execution, including through the development of detailed operational plans.”
