Experience

International companies and testimonials

It was an absolute privilage working with Giuseppe. He brings passion to his work each day, always driven to improve his company, his customers, and those around him. He has a tremendous skillset that includes a rare combination of technical knowledge and the ability to communicate in a persuasive, compelling manner. Giuseppe is typically one step ahead of everyone else, always innovating and moving forward. A true leader.

John Hampton Sr. Director & WW Customer Field Support @ AMD

Giuseppe is a straight-forward speaker, a person who isn't afraid to list not just technology advantages, but also disadvantages and proactively work on solving them. His dedication in driving the usable technology in consumer homes was the most welcomed addition in somewhat marketing-obsessed world. He didn't view technology products as "home from the 50s with computers in it", but rather seek proactive use of computer technology and how to address the non-core markets. In any case, Giuseppe is a remarkable individual and extremely-skilled professional that I had the pleasure of working with.

Theo Valich CEO & General Partner @ Builds things

I've been frequently in contact with Giuseppe Amato in the last 2 and half years, while he was deling with italian and international press on his role of technical director at AMD. A very prepared professional, Giuseppe has a deep knowledge on technology but he's capable of adapting to the audience, getting to the point with all the different type of journalists he's to deal with. A very charismatic person, he knows how to estabilish long term relationships with people and companies.
