The leadership, particularly CEO Leonardo Poggiali, lacks a clear and consistent strategic direction, with frequent shifts in priorities that appear driven more by personal judgment than by structured business planning. This results in constant uncertainty, misalignment across teams, and inefficient execution. At the operational level, there is a noticeable lack of ownership and accountability. The COO, Katie Lewis, does not effectively drive execution or provide the leadership needed to resolve critical issues, which often leaves teams without direction and delays key deliverables. There is a significant gap between what is communicated during hiring and the actual work environment. Despite projecting strong operational capabilities, the reality reflects inconsistent processes, unclear expectations, and limited leadership support. Frequent changes in direction, lack of transparency, and instability in decision-making create a challenging work environment, impacting employee confidence, morale, and long-term growth. Overall, this is not an ideal setup for professionals seeking stability, strong leadership, or structured career progression.
