Client reviews

Fabio De Vero is an outstanding professional who brings great added value to your business. He truly possesses an extraordinary, constructive, and fruitful vision simultaneously. Unlike other experiences I’ve had with consultants, Fabio always aligns his actions with the expected outcomes. His combination of qualitative insights with quantitative results makes him an ideal partner for business development. He is honest, transparent, and direct—virtues appreciated when embarking on actions and selecting your ‘travel partners’.

We like to have FDV as part of our team, working on strategic projects. His vision and understanding of the F&B and retail markets helps us to see what we often don’t see. His approach is functional, quick driven and results oriented.
