I have always been impressed by Simone's wide curiosity for and foresight into the changes taking place in the business world. I admire the way he has been able to connect the changing circumstances with a new, clear and compelling direction for Clinique La Prairie. I have always respected the way he cares for his staff and his team by giving them opportunities for continuous learning and development. Simone is very innovative and that is evidenced in the way he has pioneered new management methods to increase customer centricity. He is thought after by the boards of other luxury businesses to share these new practices. Because he is so well-read, Simone is insightful and critical, exactly the right sparring partner for the research I do.

You won't find so many leaders with the same positive energy, enthusiasm and healthy ambition as Simone. Since the first time we met, Simone inspired me trust and respect, thanks to his authentic personality, bright thinking and genuine interest for other people's ideas and points of view. Simone's positivism is remarkable: where others see hurdles, Simone sees opportunities.

Simone displays an interesting combination of 3 major competences: conceptualization, innovation and implementation.
Indeed, he has the ability to develop an helicopter view on many issues he faces. Then, he is creative enough to generate fresh ideas to tackle those issues. And finally, after reaching a consensus in the organization, he has the will power to implement the selected solution.
In my opinion, this rare combination makes a true leadership.

It is not easy to sum up how to describe the many aspects of Simone Gibertoni's character and achievements as he has certainly accomplished successfully all the facets of his career in developing and managing enterprises in Europe and abroad. So it has taken me some time to find the right words to convey my appreciation and admiration for what he has accomplished. Finally I think I need only one word to fully express the great regard I have for him.
I TRUST SIMONE!
