Tullio
CEO - Italy - iCEO #53616

Experience

I am a purpose-driven growth leader with 36 years of experience building organizations into multi-billion-dollar enterprises and successful exits. As the creator of the EmpathIQ Framework, I’ve enabled companies to triple operational capacity without adding headcount, ignite employee engagement, and design resilient, self-managed cultures that scale and endure.

Major Achievements

I have scaled organizations to more than $3B in ARR and driven $2B+ in exits, including unifying 10,000+ employees post-M&A to enable a $1.5B transaction. By implementing purpose-driven OKRs and self-management, I’ve achieved near 100% engagement, built resilient cultures with less than 3% attrition, and transformed operations to deliver 3x capacity with 30–40% cost savings. I also pioneered the Cognition Layer in marketing, creating an award-winning AI platform that redefined how companies connect with their markets.
