About Marco
I help FMCG & consumer brands transform their digital marketing operations from execution-heavy models into scalable, AI-enabled growth engines.
For the past 13+ years I've worked at the intersection of brand scale, digital performance, and emerging technology, most recently leading the global digital ecosystem for Nutella, a €10bn+ brand operating across 50+ markets.
What I actually do:
I don't just advise. I build. I've designed and deployed AI use cases in live marketing environments as generative content, visual recognition, AI-driven discovery experiences and translated them into measurable commercial results. I've also pioneered Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) strategies for brands navigating the shift from traditional search to AI-driven answer engines. This is where most FMCG brands are completely unprepared.
What working with me delivers:
→ AI and GenAI implementation that actually ships, not just PowerPoints
→ Digital ecosystems that perform consistently across markets
→ SEO and GEO strategies built for the next 3 years, not the last 10
→ Senior capability without the overhead of a full-time hire
