PEER ENDORSEMENTS

  • "Considering bidding for a major legacy project like an Expo was an exciting moment for the city. It takes courage and perseverance to take a leap of faith to explore something that has not been done before. Marcello is one of Toronto’s foremost young active citizens, who not only has the big ideas, but the know-how, energy and drive to get them done. I have confidence in his abilities and am certain that he will continue to achieve great things. He has a passion and a talent for creating hubs that connect people, which is so needed in our city.”

As a seasoned PR and communications leader — with experience leading publicity and promotional marketing for Warner Bros. Pictures Canada and now running my own consultancy — I’ve always sought to collaborate with people I trust to deliver beyond expectations. Marcello is that person. A natural connector and true visionary, he has a proven track record of innovation and success. A strategic and big-picture thinker, Marcello brings creativity, intention, and heart to everything he does. His ability to galvanize people, ideas, and movements is inspiring, and his impact is always lasting. I would recommend Marcello for any endeavour; his charisma, integrity, and commitment make him an invaluable collaborator and force for good."
