Matteo Cassese helps leaders thrive in chaos and conflict.
Matteo is an executive and founder coach, a professional speaker, and a mythmaker. As a queer nerd passionate about mythology, technology, tarot, fitness, nature, and cars, he brings a unique perspective to his work.
Too many executives play it safe, avoiding conflict and following best practices. They’re stuck with no real plan, vision, or goal. Matteo shows a different path.
CHAOS, CONFLICT, CONFIDENCE
Matteo’s clients embrace what others avoid. Pushback, stalled projects, failed pitches – these aren’t setbacks. They’re fuel for growth.
The company can only go as far as you can take it. When you’re blocked, emotionally disconnected, or not expressing your full potential, you’re holding everyone back.
You must learn to thrive in chaos, enjoy conflict, and find confidence.
YOUR SHADOW PARTNER
When you have a bold strategy to change the world, you can’t be fearful of ruffling some feathers.
There’s no such thing as a polite troublemaker.
His superpower is creating a space for you to be vulnerable yet safe. He will act as your shadow partner, trusted sidekick, and behind-the-scenes co-creator in this space.
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
Matteo never set out to become a coach; you made him one. With experience in corporate roles (Warner Bros.), consulting (Netflix), and teaching (Unilink), he found his way to coaching thousands of individuals across various industries. To be the best coach in the world, he brings his true self to every encounter with you.
Trusted by top corporates, startups, and scaleups
