" I've known and worked with Giovanni on and off for the past 20 years at various capacities as our careers evolved; first as an information architect during the .com era and now as an experience strategist. His superpower is taking complex information systems and distilling them to simple story forms that can be easily absorbed and understood, so I count him as a trusted 'go-to' colleague to think through complex problems, conduct research, get the best insights, and think through some great ideas. He is a great facilitator and stakeholder manager who knows how to bring together a disparate group of people and get them on track on the same story in real time. "

" Giovanni is an exceptional talent and leader in Research/Product Design/User Experience realm. I’ve known Giovanni for many years, both personally and professionally; Giovanni has earned the greatest respect from his peers and colleagues and has the reputation of delivering the highest quality work. Giovanni’s attention to detail and commitment to his craft distinguishes him from others. He is a true professional and I give him my highest recommendation. "

" Giovanni is a true catalyst and thought-leader in Innovation leadership! Spend just 30 minutes with him to hear what he has done and you will discover his unique approach to problem solving with user experience at the core. I invited Giovanni to speak to a group of design leaders at the xCHANGE workshop this past fall. He was great and able to share with a group of his peers new ideas and possibilities. He will no doubt continue to be on the forefront of Innovation Design! Thanks, Giovanni! "

" Giovanni is the kind of manager, UX designer, researcher, and information architect who thrives in complex situations and is motivated by hard problems. He was an amazing early addition to our team and immediately became an invaluable partner, working collaboratively with stakeholders from all sides of the business, from product management to users, internal c-suite to customer executives.

He helped me trust my instincts as a manager, gave me the courage to tackle hard problems, and backed me up of every step of the way, whatever was needed. He cared deeply about the team, and it was an honor to be able to work with him so closely. I was lucky to have his attention to detail, selfless work ethic, expertise, thoughtfulness, and dedication to his own constant self-development, both as a designer and as a leader."
