I've worked with Franco now for more than a decade. The reason I first asked him to join my company still remains his most awesome skillset - systems-level thinking, planning, and execution. Franco has an ability to come into a problem space, quickly understand it, and then start discovering both optimizations and totally novel solutions. At the heart of this skillset is his ability to empathize with users and then combine that understanding with his systems knowledge to grow products in ways that end users love. I've rarely met anyone who can think about a product at such a high level while also being incredibly detail oriented.

I was fortunate to have worked both side-by-side with Franco and under his focused leadership. In any role, he exhibits focus and determination on the work that he’s passionate about, as proven by the many successful products and solutions that he has delivered.

Franco’s cross-domain background and innovative mindset make him a stellar product leader who has a lot of experience with successfully delivering value to end-users, customers, and stakeholders. His creative nature and bold vision are very well balanced by years of learning and working with industry’s best practices and using well proven methodologies and processes.

Franco easily adapts to different situations and challenges. He is a smart risk taker who, having led both large and specialized projects, makes timely and well-informed decisions to different types of issues. He applies his adaptive skills even to the way he envisions the products and features on projects that he manages. His adaptability and mental agility allow him to effectively handle uncertainties, quickly know where to focus and how to prioritize features in a very strategic way.
