Renato is a hands-on advisor who proved from the very first minute that he can add value no matter the topic. And he is a man of his word. I had the chance to first get a feeling if this would be a good fit before even talking about compensation. I and my team are glad we can continue to count on his valuable input on any matter we raise with him.

Renato has an innate ability to compartmentalize and connect at the same time any aspect of a business front to back. He adds value by giving well thought-through advice on a strategic level before breaking it down to a more granular level that allows efficient implementing and executing of defined measures. He has strong knowledge of the fundraising and capital market landscape as well as proper international business compliance and accounting requirements. He is talented at asking the right questions and his advising has been instrumental in the development of our innovative risk management solutions at Wagein.

Renato is not your typical advisor. He has a sincere interest in making sure the chemistry is right before taking on a mandate. I have always welcomed his insights and strategic thoughts while discussing through a wide variety of business challenges. I valued his experience in analyzing M&A and private equity deals across a wide range of sectors. His excellent analytical skills combined with his expertise made Renato the ideal sounding board to discuss new business ideas.

In my experience, Renato wants to understand your business and get to know you personally before he asks for compensation of his time, which is rare these days. What stood out to me was his ability to look at a new business from all angles, considering all facets while never letting the big picture out of sight. He made me rethink my capital needs and how much ownership in my company I really need to sacrifice to achieve my goals. And he doesn't forget about you: when COVID-19 hit, he contacted me proactively to make sure I was aware of all the different support programs for small businesses. In Renato you truly gain a partner who cares about your personal success.

Renato impressed me from the beginning with how quickly he understood the scope and intricacies of the business challenges I presented to him. He always keeps his thoughts well-structured. With only minimal information he thinks through different scenarios and delineates different solution paths. He also didn’t shy away from asking tough questions and challenging the status quo. His experience in financial modeling led to a more efficient management of my assets and liabilities. His experience in credit analysis laid the foundation to a successful debt restructuring. Moreover, I always felt that Renato honestly cared about me as a person and never lost focus of what my long-term goals are.
