Entrepreneur: Beeasy
I am the founder and Chairman of Beeasy S.r.l. Società Benefit, an innovative start-up headquartered in Milan with its operations centre in Varzi, in the Oltrepò Pavese area. Beeasy runs AI-powered contact centres for companies and public bodies, amicable debt collection and support services for municipalities on local taxes.
STRESS-LAB: the triple artificial intelligence
Working alongside Michele Collini is STRESS-LAB: the triple artificial intelligence that stress-tests numbers, plans and documents and builds solutions for complex situations. It works on a database that is a highly professional digital library.
Why three different intelligences
They are models from different vendors, trained in different ways: the checker does not share the drafter’s blind spots. Every cycle leaves a complete, versioned trail, and every finding cites the document and the value it contradicts.
What it works on
- Restructuring plans, budgets and business plans
- Contracts and legal documents
- Reports and due diligence
- Any document that must be right, not just plausible
The three artificial intelligences answer to each other. And all of them answer to us.
Four rules
My approach
Trust is not demanded: it is earned by working well, with precision, when it matters most.
I am often called in when the situation is already under pressure: cash flows tighten, margins thin out, decisions get heavier. In those situations I bring analysis, perspective and hands-on responsibility: not theory, but practical tools for making decisions.
Valuations are there to show where you really are, not where you would like to be. A well-built financial plan helps you see the impact of decisions in advance. Strategy that ignores cash is just rhetoric.
