About us

We speak the entrepreneur's language because we've done their jobs

Not a consultant watching from outside: direct experience inside companies, with commercial and management responsibility. And a network of professionals for specialist skills.

Alfredo Della Penna

Founding partner

Over 40 years of experience inside companies. Before moving into consulting he was an operations and commercial executive in large multinationals, leading sales networks and production operations. He has experienced first-hand budgets that don't add up and margins eroded by discounts, in large organisations as well as in SMEs. At Sestante he brings the perspective of a management consultant: he supports the entrepreneur in decisions on management, organisation and control, from reading margins to the choices that drive growth. He turns numbers into clear priorities and concrete actions, with one fixed principle: direction only matters when it becomes measurable action in the company.

Nicolò Della Penna

Digital & AI Advisor

Fifteen years of experience in large multinational groups, across process engineering, operations and digital manufacturing. He has led digital transformation programmes in plants across Europe and Asia, taking artificial intelligence, predictive maintenance and factory systems from idea to production, including through innovation funding (Industry 4.0 and PNRR). A certified Six Sigma Black Belt and PMP, he turns data into dashboards that drive decisions and brings AI into the method: faster analysis, more precise actions. With one fixed principle: technology only matters if people actually use it.

The core team

The people working on projects alongside the founders.

Giulia M.

Management control consultant

A chartered accountant by training, she spent ten years in industrial accounting and budgeting before moving into consulting. At Sestante she builds management-control systems tailored to each SME: from a reclassified chart of accounts to margins by client, product and job. Her goal is simple: give the entrepreneur clean, timely numbers to decide on, without waiting for the year-end accounts.

Luca F.

Data and CRM analyst

A management-engineering background and a genuine passion for turning data into decisions. He designs the dashboards, connects the ERP to the CRM and automates the collection of sales data, so the numbers arrive on their own and always up to date. He supports sales teams in the daily use of the tools, convinced that a CRM is only worth as much as the people who actually use it.

15 professionals in the network

A network of professionals, one point of contact

Beyond the core team, we work with a network of professionals across four areas. The same person is always your point of contact: when a specific skill is needed, we bring it in from the network.

Operations

Processes, production and logistics

Sales

Sales networks, pricing and customers

Finance and tax

Corporate finance, tax and cash management

HR and employment

Organisation, recruitment and people management

The relationship with clients

Few clients, served well

Regular physical presence at the company and availability between meetings. A stable partner, not a supplier.

Honesty about real problems

Even when the entrepreneur is part of the problem. That's what builds trust and word of mouth.

Concreteness above all

No theory: numbers that become actions. The value is in the method and judgement, not in the tools.

Let's regain control of your sales force

The first step is an introductory call, no commitment: you tell us about your company and your numbers and we tell you right away whether and how we can help. From there we decide together.
