Roberto is a true “renaissance man” of our industry. He has been in the translation industry for a long time and has developed his own business from scratch all the way to its integration into a global company. This gives him insight in the daily workings of a company but also in the challenges of senior managers and company owners as they organise and position their companies. Although a linguist by training, he has a great appetite for numbers. I enjoy working with Roberto very much and find his advice candid and very constructive.

LSP Growth’s deep knowledge of the language industry as well as Roberto’s staunch mentoring approach helped Yellow Hub hit the mark with our latest merger. Having the right mix of M&A and organic growth is essential not to fall behind with today's market trends. Thanks to Roberto’s expertise, we now rank within the top 15 LSPs in Italy and are proud to be part of the Mergers & Acquisitions stories that push companies to new heights.

Yellow Hub TDR, Italy
TDR experienced fast growth over the past years, but we still wanted to gain a better grasp on our business profitability. LSP Growth helped us design a solid financial controlling system and implement operating and cash-flow budgets. After just a few months, we were better prepared to back up our goals from a financial perspective.
Tiziana De Rosa,

We wanted to get a better grasp of our company’s numbers and make sure that our growth strategy was consistently related to a full understanding of our financials. We turned to Roberto to help us set up a financial control system and draw number-informed conclusions. His approach is always hands-on, realistic and goal oriented. He has decisively helped us master an aspect that is crucial to achieving a healthy growth path.

As owners and managers of Lexyca, we needed to make sure that our roles in the company were clearly defined and in line with our growth expectations. We turned to Roberto who helped us get a better insight into our company’s functions and provide leadership. Now we know how to best use our skills and can better focus on our company’s growth agenda.

We've worked with Roberto on strengthening our budget planning and preparing the feasibility analysis and initial steps of a couple of merger negotiations. I particularly appreciate Roberto's experience, professionalism, and humanity. As the CEO of an LSP, I can say that his contribution can make a difference with company growth, management, and strategy.
