Giovanni Di Noto

I head the engineering and business team of this specialized consultancy firm advising selected government agencies, corporate, non-profits, industry bodies and entrepreneurs worldwide on a broad range of strategic digital business, branding, sustainability enterprise architecture and technology topics.

I've held various senior positions within Sony for over a decade, establishing and growing Sony’s online and e-commerce platforms in Asia-Pacific both from a technical and business perspective in addition to people-centric corporate culture and other governance responsibilities.

During that period, I consulted for a number of organizations including IBM, AT&T, Italian Government and EU. I was involved in the implementation of 10 x IT mid-range solutions in accounting, manufacturing & marketing areas across a range of industry verticals. From 1995 to 1997, I created and grew a number of internet-based businesses including some of the very first commercial ISP's in Europe.

I developed company activities in North-east of France by concluding and following-up medium-sized construction projects (customer relationship management, financial dossier preparation, initial administrative documents & law requirements, liaison with customers, HO, public administrations, financial institutions, architects & civil engineers, etc)

I participated to the creation, launch, growth and sale of 5 different entertainment complexes (Thematic restaurants, gaming centers, Live music pubs) managing business casing, financial planning, implementation project management, management of operations, business development and business commercialization. I also defined and managed the development of a B2C system, based on French MINITEL public network (6m users in 1981), for electronic restaurant booking.

I founded and developed this logistics and road transport services provider, establishing a new business model based on the usage of on-board RADIOCOM 2000 mobile phone devices (1st terrestrial French mobile phone network) increasing overall truck load/km by 40% respect to industry benchmarks. I also defined and managed the development of a B2B system, based on French MINITEL public network (6m users in 1981), for the electronic exchange of shipping lots between French logistics operators.
