Global CFO Excellence Awards 2025

Auctioneering CFO of the Year 2025 (Italy): Alessandro Consoli & Financial Leadership Excellence Award 2025 Working in the banking sector from the very startup phase was particularly formative. There, Alessandro learned that no barrier is insurmountable, only challenges to be met with the right mindset. In such a dynamic and uncertain environment, Alessandro strengthened his flexibility, learned to reassess priorities, and maintained long-term focus until ideas became tangible results. Starting out as an intern, he also learned humility: the importance of staying open to learning, even at the highest levels. Determination and patience became the cornerstones of his approach, shaping a leadership style rooted in perseverance. “These steps naturally led me to my current position as CFO,” he told us, “where I draw daily on what I learned in the past: the precision of accounting, the ability to read and interpret numbers, the skill to translate financial data into actionable guidelines for business growth, and the capacity to constantly simulate future scenarios in order to anticipate key variables. My professional journey has allowed me to grow not only from a technical standpoint, but also in the development of soft skills that I now consider fundamental for a CFO.” Today, Alessandro operates with a leadership style built upon two main pillars: clarity in communication and sharing of vision. He believes that a leader should not simply give instructions but rather create an environment where everyone understands the bigger picture, the reasoning behind decisions, and how their individual contribution impacts the organisation’s objectives. To Alessandro, it is essential that each person feels part of a single organism, with both the power and the responsibility to help improve the direction and the speed at with Finarte moves.
