Stefano Sarao has had a few careers so far. He's fundamentally a curious individual who does not believe in single-track careers and maintains that, if you're not having fun doing your current job, you owe it to yourself to look for another one. He started in the communication field, then spent over 25 years in sales—with a four-year break devoted to recruitment and selection. Most of his jobs were with blue-chip multinationals and companies with a global reach. Over time he realized that he’d love the opportunity to pass his expertise on to others, so he became a freelance consultant, trainer and business school lecturer, which has been his occupation for the past twelve years. Stefano has traveled extensively throughout his different careers, and has lived in Italy, UK, Belgium, and Austria. He now lives near Milan, Italy, with his wife, Chris, and two rowdy Giant Schnauzers. He loves sailing but no longer owns a boat for the reasons he explains in his book “Slow-Boating to the Med.” He spends his free time tinkering with his motorcycle and his Jeep, and likes blogging.. Stefano is a firm believer in the maxim "The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys," which he reinforces on a daily basis.
