Editorial judgement for senior conversations

A useful leadership discussion connects broad ideas to real choices. I research the speakers and their businesses, listen closely and follow the experiences that help an audience understand how leaders think, act and adapt.

Topics I cover

  • Leadership and decision-making

  • Strategy, growth and transformation

  • Workplace culture and the future of work

  • AI’s impact on business

  • Brands, customers and changing markets

  • Performance and organisational change

Selected executive interview experience

My editorial and live-event work includes leaders from PepsiCo, Yahoo, Pinterest, Mars, Omnicom, LinkedIn, Coca-Cola, Spotify and SoundCloud.

PepsiCo: leadership and time management

Yahoo: company transformation

LinkedIn: AI and the working world

What clients say

“Our CEO doesn’t do many external speaking engagements, but Massimo was respectful and put him at ease. As a result, the session flowed naturally and was well received! Massimo is a pro.”

— Joanne Trout, Omnicom, Chief Communications Officer

Formats for your audience

Fireside chats and panels can bring senior leaders’ experience to a wider audience. Executive roundtables allow a smaller group to explore a shared question. Filmed interviews can extend the conversation into editorial or thought-leadership content.

Available internationally

I’m based in London and work across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and internationally. Tell me your dates, audience and speakers, and we can discuss the preparation and format. Discuss your event.
