2000 – 2008 Value Partners Group Italy 2000 – 2007 Vice President

2007 – 2008 Vice President, E-TREE

One year later in 2000, she joined Value Partners at the time when VP Web and VP Tech were going to be founded and few years later incorporated in Value Team (eventually sold to NTT Data in 2011). In Value Partners, Cristina Mollis rapidly grew to a Vice President role, becoming head of the Telco Unit for marketing, sales, and customer operations. In 2007 she became responsible of E-TREE , the Group's Internet Company.

During her 8 years at Value Partners, Cristina Mollis led several projects on the verge between marketing, sales and customer operations especially in Telco but also in FMCG and Retail industries. Main projects would encompass:

• e-Business initiative assessment, traditional and digital marketing plan, analysis and definition of e-Commerce strategies, evolution from traditional customer care to digital customer care, loyalty management, cluster analysis, definition of the new web strategy and organization; definition of new e-opportunities both inside the company and for customers;

  • Analysis of Top Business sales force organization and definition of new processes,
  • Definition and deployment of web-based tool for sales force automation, organization and concept for both consumer and business client.

In 2008, upon the decision from Value Partners leadership to abandon the creation of the new consulting unit dedicated to digital strategy and digital transformation projects (VP Frontiers), Cristina Mollis decided to leave and pursue that same opportunity as an entrepreneur.

1999 – 2000 Valdani Vicari & Associati Italy

Consultant

After completing her university studies in 1997, Cristina Mollis started her professional career at Valdani Vicari & Associati, a small consulting firm, mainly focused on marketing planning, market researches and sales effectiveness projects.

COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT

Consulting skills

Cristina Mollis has been a consultant throughout her entire career (roughly 20 years), and a successful one both as an esteemed member of a well-known, strategic management consulting firm (Value Partners) where she grew to leadership positions during her 8 years, and subsequently as an entrepreneur in the consulting arena where she was able to grow her company to 9 M€ /year exclusively focusing on digital projects.

She is able to couple sound strategic and business planning capabilities with a pragmatic, operational approach to implementation of impactful action plans, which is so key in today's digital transformation projects.

She has standing and experience to connect at top level and she is already recognized by Italian CEOs, CMOs and Chief Digital Officers of relevant companies as a valuable thought partner.

Digital processes and technology

Definitely knowledgeable about strategic, organizational and operational implications of digital transformation in some industries that are particularly relevant in different markets (e.g., Fashion, Telco, Retail,..), Cristina can both articulate a vision and a detailed action plan also leveraging her significant experience in "traditional" marketing, sales and customer operations consulting.

On top of that, the nature of projects her company engages with entails an advanced knowledge of key technology platforms and solutions.

Results Orientation

Very driven, self-motivated and enthusiastic about what she does, Cristina shows a strong result orientation both in setting and pursuing ambitious targets for her company and in her client work. In the 7 years since its foundation, NuvO' has grown from scratch to a significant size for a pure consulting business on digital. She has been able to motivate her team to grow the business and extend their relationships, even though she is still the key engine of business development.

On the client side, she always pushes for exceeding client expectations in terms of quality of delivery but, above all, of long-term economic and business impact of the proposed action plan and connected digital solutions.

She constantly pursues process and business innovation using digital technologies and services to change the way her clients do business: in order to be able to do so her own way, she left a wellestablished consulting firm to found her own.

Strategic Orientation

Cristina practically applied her strategic orientation to her career: she spotted the digital opportunity quite in advance with very good understanding of clients' needs, technology trends, potential impact and required business proposition. She accordingly developed NuvO's value proposition with a stated long term aspiration to become a leader in her space.

In her client work she always starts from a thorough strategic review of current business challenges to develop an integrated digital strategy that encompasses all key aspects of an organization's processes and positioning, in alternative scenarios. She is able to derive very concrete, operational, action-oriented plans leveraging existing company's strengths and innovative solutions.

Collaboration & Influencing

As an expert consultant, Cristina scores very strong on collaboration & influencing: she is very open and willing to listen, proactively looks for input from all relevant stakeholders (with the right sensitivity of each role) and openly brings issues to the table for participative resolution. She can influence highly ranked top managers both on intellectual and emotional ground, demonstrating a deep involvement in their challenges both personally and through her team.

Her devotion to client service goes way beyond her personal interest: she has demonstrated in several occasions

Team Leadership

Cristina has led project teams since quite early in her career up until when she had to build and grow her own team at NuvO' (7 people joined her from Value Partners right from the beginning). Her managerial style is very collaborative and inclusive, she leads from the front with passion and enthusiasm as well as through sharing a vision and designing a path together with her people. She can be tough when needed (e.g., during the peak of the crisis, she first lowered her salary and then her peers' – despite their protests – to keep the company profitability and be able to invest) and provide developmental feedback based on observed behaviours and facts.

PRESS AND MEDIA

  • 2017 The latest count of media appearances of my robots reaches 1250 in the past two years.
  • 2009 About the iCub on Nature (N. Nosengo. "Robotics: The bot that plays ball" Nature Vol 460, 1076-1078 (2009) doi: 10.1038/4601076a).
  • The iCub appeared in hundreds of news articles and magazines including "Le Monde", "La Repubblica", "Corriere della Sera", "National Geographic" (cover), "Asahi Shimbun" (cover), "Science News" (cover), "Il Sole 24 ore", in books on AI, in a movie ("Plug & Pray"), Scientific American (cover), etc.

GENERAL PUBLIC APPEARANCES

iCub demos were shown at robotics fairs, exhibits, conferences and during laboratory visits at IIT hundreds of times, always live on one or more robots. These included visits by the Italian President of the Republic (Mr. Napolitano, Mr. Mattarella), Italian Prime Minister (Mr. Letta, Mr. Renzi), German Chancellor (Ms. Angela Merkel), the Spanish King Felipe IV, EU Commissioners and countless ministers and parliament members.

I give about 40-50 public speeches per year. I regularly participate to forums, panels and other business initiatives (e.g. for TEH Ambrosetti, Italian Think Tank on digitalization and new technologies in relation to economy), to media-related events, exhibitions and fairs, science festivals, EU Commission panels and conferences, TEDx talks, government panels/forums.
