Thanks to my previous experience in the United States, today with Flower&Klein I support Italian and European companies based in the USA for the most suitable managerial profiles. All of this, thanks to: ▪️ the knowledge of both the Italian and the Americans cultural drivers ▪️ the ability to integrate the Made in Italy culture and essence with the American market ▪️ the in-depth knowledge of the competitive landscape, to identify and evaluate the most talented candidates ▪️ an international mentality, to be able to evaluate profiles from different contexts and cultures. Regardless of the geographical area of ​​intervention (EMEA, Asia Pacific, America), we apply the same research process, but customized on the cultural and organizational specificities of the client company.
