I invest regularly in meditation, self-reflection and focus to make sure I am aware of my motivation, perspective, biases before approaching something.

Problem Solving

Using critical and logical thinking to break down problems in smaller chunks, questioning assumptions and dogmas to look at it in as many ways as possible and look for solutions.

Teamwork, Empathy, Listening

You cannot communicate well if you don't understand the other person/people's experience, way of thinking, and previous information. Active listening is a key part in making a team and any relationship work.

Results need great tools.

What people say about me

Matthew Walls

CEO, Travelsupermarket
VP, Hotels.com

Matteo is a highly skilled digital marketeer. He has deep knowledge across all the customer acquisition channels, but in particular SEO and SEM. As well as being very smart and analytical he has a keen commercial brain and is also a strong people manager. As you might tell, I recommend Matteo highly.

Vito Perrone

sr director of e-commerce, expedia

Matteo joined Venere in 2009 as the newest member of the SEO team. From the beginning, I was really impressed by his dedication, hard work, creativity and ability to smoothly pick up new things and pro-actively take projects forward.

Roberto Lattanzio

sr digital marketing manager, gamepix

Besides being my manager at Venere, Matteo has been a team-mate, a companion and an authoritative, senior point of reference for me. Competent and easy going, possessing a strong work ethic but fun to be around, Matteo is an empathetic and honest person who takes pride in helping individuals developing their careers and faces any work situation with a smile on his face.

I had the pleasure to work with Matteo when he was at Hotels.com. As a manager for the EMEA team he communicated clearly and kept the team organised. During tough times his wit and positive attitude helped the team move forward and overcome challenges. Matteo would be an asset to any team!
