Team
Marco Lotti
PARTNER, SENIOR CONSULTANT
Area: Strategy, Organization and Business Management, Project Management, Innovation Management
My 4Days: Management Engineer, I lived the first half of my professional life in companies with management roles, the second half as a management consultant and temporary manager. I love working on Change and Innovation processes, living them with passion, and being stimulated by the search for meaning and the resolution of complex problems.
My fifth day: It's as intense as my working days, dedicated to my relationships and my passions; sports (I was a basketball player, coach, and manager), scuba diving, my dogs, reading, and above all else, the sea.
Emilio Ziraldo
PARTNER, SENIOR CONSULTANT
Area: Strategy, Business Management, Business Process Reengineering, Project Management, Supply Chain Management, Innovation Management
My 4Days: Management Engineer, I had the chance to observe, reengineer, integrate and implement critical business processes (ERP and Business Control, SCM, MES, PDM, PM) in different realities, under different points of view (managerial and consulting) and organizational cultures (medium and large, national and international). Together with the trait that leads me to deepen and take care of details, this has allowed me to combine organizational vision and application design, coordinating and harmonizing different skills and above all deeply affecting change, innovation and efficiency.
My fifth day: I surf between the passions of my heart (my family and my little one), the calls of curiosity (study and deepen), and my passions (sailing, cinema, walking in the mountains) including evenings with friends.
Cristiano Di Paolo
SENIOR CONSULTANT
Area: IT Management, Innovation Processes, and Application Design, Organization and Processes
My 4Days: After many years as IT manager in a large multinational group, I decided to marry a project in which I firmly believe, with a group of friends and professionals that I respect. With great enthusiasm, I try to make my skills and experience available to customers to face challenges and projects alongside them.
My fifth day: My family, good reads, a passion for volleyball, and many other interests fill my free time - there is no time for idleness or boredom.
Gabriele Cossu
SENIOR CONSULTANT
Area: IT Management, Innovation Processes, and Application Design
My 4Days: I have been interested in technology and information technology for many years and I follow the evolution for personal passion. In 4Days I find the ideal environment where I can put my experience to good use, integrating it with the innovative ideas that I cultivate in my research. A good part of my time is spent in the continuous research and testing of new solutions and in the development of prototypes that simulate real cases.
My fifth day: I consider myself lucky to have a passion that coincides with my work. For this reason, my research and my study have the double advantage of having fun and being a source of business solutions. I have some experience in the field of microelectronics that I use to create home automation systems. On several occasions, I have drawn from these many ideas that have found use in client projects. I spend, indeed, a part of my time listening to classical music paying particular attention to it.
Giovanni Carta
SENIOR CONSULTANT
Area: Organization and Processes
My 4Days: I have worked in IT and Operations Management for companies operating in various sectors. Today, with 4Days I develop the organizational and systems of our clients applying my professional experiences in business process reengineering projects.
My fifth day: I harness my electric guitar and play loudly with my rock band. I strap on my bike and pedal aimlessly. I take off in an airplane to change my perspective on the world.
Mauro Sarti
SENIOR CONSULTANT
Area: Sviluppo commerciale, Progettazione e gestione in ambito formazione e sviluppo delle persone
My 4Days: My professional activity has always taken place within companies that provide IT services and solutions. I started in the technology sector and then moved on to the commercial sector and finally as head of a corporate academy. I find 4Days a particularly stimulating and inspiring environment where I can bring my contribution and my experience to develop and expand the training offer, an area that I believe is essential to advance both professionals and companies and characterize it more and more towards a concept of excellence.
My fifth day: I divide it mainly between my family, friends, and my main passions; personal training (in stress management and personal expression), sports (I was a competitive rowing athlete and now I practice as a master athlete with a black belt interval in karate), mountains (an environment that fascinates and inspires me all seasons) and reading.
Ugo Leita
SENIOR CONSULTANT
Area: Procurement, Supply Chain Management
My 4Days: For almost thirty years I have covered various roles in the procurement/supply chain management field, even in structured companies, up to coordinating multidisciplinary teams on complex projects; now I spend this experience passionately supporting our customers by accompanying them in their change processes.
My fifth day: It can be family, work, friends, passions... definitely fulfilling as such
Alessandra Commisso

My 4Days: Management engineer, I find in 4Days the perfect environment to deploy both my technical knowledge and creativity. For 4Days, I deal with the design of training activities, testing activities in application development and, still in the application area, User Experience Design and rapid prototyping.
My fifth day: I am a musician and I carry on my artistic activity in a professional way, sometimes collaborating with professional orchestras (La Fenice in Venice) but especially with my string quartet ArTime Quartet.I love to travel, I'm curious and I like to learn new things.

My fifth day: I am a very active and sporty person, snowboarding, soccer, cycling, and surfing are my passion. I love to climb mountains with my bike but even more, to travel around the world, Australia is my second home and Sydney is my favorite city.

My 4Days: I'm coming to 4Days to take care of administration, finance, and communication using my previous work experience. I have a rich background of experience in various fields, an orderly character, and a positive attitude, I love speaking languages having used three of them professionally.
My fifth day: : I love the sea. I'm strong-willed, a bit stubborn, and when I set a goal I try to reach it with maximum effort, just like the sea does when it tries to kiss the sand despite how many times it is sent back. I've never seen the waves give up...that's why I love the sea.
Davide Cossu

My 4Days: Maths student, I suspended my studies to immerse myself in a new experience in the working world. I dedicate myself to finding innovative solutions to complex problems, always looking one step ahead at new technologies.

Continuous updating, study and certification of skills are essential elements of my way of understanding the profession.
My fifth day: Family, home and friends are the references around which my free time revolves, not forgetting the pleasure of a good book and relaxation.

My fifth day: Amo viaggiare, fare sport, camminare in montagna e quando possibile anche sfidarla… in sella alla mia moto. Oltre a prendermi cura dei miei figli e di due cani.
