#AccelerateToElevate was the keyword of our recent MediaMarktSaturn Leadership Meeting in Spain. In that context it was a honor and a privilege for me to present MediaWorld's Real Estate and Store Concept Omnichannel Transformation Journey as I am convinced it perfectly fits this motto. Over the last few years we have completely #shiftedgear on this very strategic topic in Italy. After (too) many years during which MediaWorld hadn't opened any new store, had refurbished only few of the existing ones and had pursued little integration among channels, in a comparatively very short timeframe we have: 🚀opened 15 new stores with four different formats and almost completed the refurbishment of our entire #storeportfolio; 🎯 significantly improved #proximity to our customers also thanks to the introduction of Smart stores and Shop-in-Shops; 💡enabled distinctive #omnichannel capabilities (to name just one among many, by giving our customers the possibility to buy a product online and pick it up in only 30 mins in any of our 131 stores); 💫brought #customerexperience to the next level following the implementation of the new "Look&Feel" concept in our Core stores and the achievement of all-time high NPS levels. Some time ago I mentioned we were just at the beginning of a historical transformation journey, shifting from defense to #attack mode. This has eventually become reality and many, many other Big news and exciting #projects will soon follow. The "Thank You" list on this specific topic is very long and starts from Karsten Wildberger and Dr. Kai-Ulrich Deissner for their continued support and trust in us and in the country and continues through (and is not limited to) the Italian Board (Guido, Sven, Vittorio), Danilo Desiderato, Piero Tegon, Marcus Tengler and all of their teammates. And believe us... the best is yet to come! #OmnichannelGrowth #LetsGo #MediaWorld

🤔 What advice would you give to your younger self, knowing what you know now? If I could talk to my younger self, I'd say: Live in the moment— the past is gone, and the future is yet to come. Embrace today and say NO to distractions that pull you away from what truly matters. Grab every opportunity to learn and grow, even when it feels uncomfortable. Trust your instincts, but don't be afraid to seek advice from those you admire. Value the relationships you build—they will be your greatest assets. Remember, failure is not the end but a stepping stone to success. #AdviceToMyYoungerSelf #LifelongLearning #GrowthMindset

"Justice has its tempo, but is relentless" says Iñigo Barea Egaña in reference to the uneven level playing field we still see in Spain. Few players continue to use bogus self-employed couriers, but we anticipate this will come to an end soon. Just Eat Spain has played an essential role in driving our very much needed path to profitability in the segment I lead in 2023, and the overall Just Eat Takeaway.com position, while seeing step-change growth in our new verticals value proposition, across groceries, pharma, cosmetics and others. Our unique employee-only logistics know-how, fully compliant with the Rider Law, has been and remains an essential differentiating factor giving our partners the service reassurance they require. 👉 Read the full interview in El Periódico de España, here: https://lnkd.in/ecMYjxhd

Here are some innovations that seemed like a 'good idea' at the time... Which one is your favorite? 👇 #HistoricalInnovation #RetroIdeas #TechCuriosities 1️⃣ **'Car Catcher' to prevent accidents (1939-1942)**: Had to be manually activated, so its effectiveness depended on both the device and the driver's reflexes. 2️⃣ **Thief-Catching Net (1969-1974)**: You had to suspect someone, have some skill, and hope they weren't in a group. 3️⃣ **Anti-Theft Suitcase (1961-1963)**: Featured long spikes that made it impossible to run away with, and would not pass any modern security checks. 4️⃣ **Easy-Parking (1927-1928)**: Although it may seem incredible, this innovation was discarded by all brands except Ford, which held onto the patent for a few years without commercializing it. 5️⃣ **Glasses with Windshield Wipers (1951-1952)**: Developed for World War II but later attempted to be commercialized unsuccessfully. 6️⃣ **Gyro-Boat (1954-1955)**: Might sound fun but was very difficult to control and resulted in some fatal accidents. It was never commercially produced. 7️⃣ **Caravan-Yacht (1968-1970)**: The most famous of this type of vehicle is the amphibious GMC Terra Bus used in Banff National Park.

"Success is not an option" Interesante el amigo Seth Godin "Success is not an option In any creative endeavor, it’s possible to define success as the big win, the moment when your dreams match reality. Success is the end of imposter syndrome, stability and finally making it to the other side. By this definition, it’s clear that success isn’t going to happen. It’s incompatible with the reason you do this work in the first place. Sure, some projects are going to work. It’s quite likely your reputation will grow and more people will give you the benefit of the doubt. But a success? Once and for all, through and through? You can’t have that at the same time you’re the creative person you set out to be." Su post me lleva a pensar en la oportunidad de estar en Beta permanente, aprendiendo, o lo que creo llaman también Infinite game. Personalmente, me inspira mucho y me genera más curiosidad. Hay quien prefiere pisar en sólido sobre misma base. ¿y tu, dónde te sientes más cómod@? #humanleadership #liderazgohumanista

Choosing an Independent Director in a Family Business requires a PROCESS. It's not just about filling a position, it's about finding the "right" person... The person who "fits in" with the business goals and with the enterprising family culture and dynamics.

In the summer of 2020 after much thought and over 20 years as an executive in multinational companies I decided on the journey of THETOTALBUSINESS which officially started in 2021. A journey of a new professional path with my own business that will express a part of me which it could not be expressed within the context of a large company. A journey of faith, many difficulties, strong self-confidence but also with moments of fear for an unknown future. The vision was to create an "influential" social+business digital magazine that will think differently, be of quality, be beautiful and have an opinion. Today 3 years later we present the new TTB and we hope you like it. It's an important moment for me as we move into a new era of expressing a new way of doing business that genuinely cares about people. It is also a happy day on a personal level because 3 years after the decision to change my career path I deeply understand what Steve Jobs said: "You can't connect the dots looking forward? you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future". In other words, there are moments in our lives when we do-decide things just because we like them, our soul wants them with an inner faith, which is not based on logic, but expects a beautiful+creative future. I am one of those who strongly believe that the best work is done when there is emotion. And I always hope that this will be confirmed.
