Hello, I’m Massimo.
I help organisations, brands and events across the world elevate their content in print, on stage and in video interviews, delivering stories and conversations that bring meaningful value to their audience.
With nearly 20 years of international journalism experience—including senior editorial roles at Fortune and CNN—I specialise in drawing out the insights, experiences and perspectives of leaders, helping brands and organisations transform those conversations into powerful storytelling and culture-shaping content. Whether it's a CEO, founder, or world-class athlete, I get to the heart of how they think, lead, and win.
“Massimo is a joy to work with - he asks the right questions, creates a space for thought-provoking and exciting discussion and grasps the complex to make it accessible to all audiences.”
“You are the first reporter to cover this part of my time at Pinterest and you gave it the right amount of color and thoughtfulness.”

What I do
As a senior editor and moderator, I’ve interviewed the CEOs, Presidents and C-suite leaders behind some of the world’s biggest businesses:
PepsiCo, Pinterest, Snap, Coca-Cola, Yahoo, Mars, Twitch, Spotify, Mattel, Omnicom, LinkedIn, Under Armour, Autodesk, Mercedes, Cadillac F1, Etsy, SoundCloud, BBC Studios, Disney, VaynerX, and Stagwell, among many others.
On stage, I’ve led conversations at premier global events including Web Summit, Advertising Week, Cannes Lions, Italian Tech Week,GITEX Global, Techarena, the Global Cybersecurity Forum, and Fortune’s Global Forum and Brainstorm AI.
I’m experienced across a wide range of topics—from leadership, AI and emerging tech, to workplace culture, media, social trends, and sport.
I’m especially passionate about exploring performance, mindset, and success through the lens of elite athletes. I've interviewed NFL stars Myles Garrett and Efe Obada, soccer icons Patrick Kluivert and Gerard Piqué, free solo GOAT Alex Honnold, and lacrosse legend Paul Rabil, among others.
So if you’re looking for an experienced senior journalist to host panels, fireside chats, partner summits, executive roundtables, thought leadership interviews or something else, let’s connect.
