"After illness and five years of rebuilding everything — the business, the approach, the life — I learned that it is not worth having a business without a balanced life around it."
— Giacomo GrisanzioTwenty years of building companies across technology, tourism, and international markets — in 8 countries, in 6 languages. Not as a consultant advising from the outside, but as the person making the calls, carrying the risk, and living with the results.
YourPersonalJames grew to €2.8M in revenue. A €1.5M funding round was turned down when the terms were wrong. A €200K bad debt crisis was survived. A company was exited during COVID when most people were paralysed.
The hard calls most founders are facing right now — they have already been made. That is what comes to the table. Not slides. Not frameworks. Real decisions, real consequences, real results.
In 2021 a serious health challenge forced everything to stop. The rebuild that followed produced something most mentors don't carry: genuine clarity on what sustainable success looks like in practice.
Today the work is with founders who want more than external success — people building exceptional businesses while creating a life that actually feels worth living.
Valentina is my life partner — my source of inspiration and the person I am building everything with today. She was the first person to show me, in practice, what it means to live with intention: balancing ambition, relationships, adventure, and rest without sacrificing any of them.
She is a true companion in exploration. Together we have made the choice to live differently — nomadic, grounded, international. That choice is not separate from my work. It is the foundation of it.
What I teach founders about balance, integration, and a life worth living — I learned first by living it with her.
I work remotely and hands-on. From a car in Norway to a session in Athens — what matters is the quality of the work, not the postcode.

Giacomo is an eclectic person, capable of turning interests and passions into concrete, sustainable projects. A genuine example of what it takes for anyone who wants to shape their own entrepreneurial path.
I have had the privilege to grow up with Giacomo — personally and professionally. He has always inspired me with his entrepreneurial spirit and energy, his endless creativity and his fearlessness to jump into something new. He can go from idea, to creation, to implementation like no one else I know and has the right mindset to try, fail, learn, succeed, try again. I admire his tenacity and love our chats about growth and life and balance.
I have watched Giacomo build, fail, rebuild, and keep going — more times than I can count. As his sister, I have seen the late nights, the doubt, the pivots, and the moments when everything clicked. What he teaches his clients is not theory. It is exactly how he has lived. The resilience, the balance, the refusal to separate work from life — that is who he is, not a brand position.
I've known Giacomo for a few decades and have tracked his numerous ventures from ideation to exit. Time and again, he has proven himself to be a deeply resourceful, grounded, and creative entrepreneur. A one-time success can always be attributed to luck; serial success, however, proves there is a rigorous method to the madness. Through his diverse entrepreneurial journeys, Giacomo has truly figured it out. Beyond his sharp strategic instincts, what I appreciate most is his inherently cheerful, positive energy — a trait that makes him not just an exceptional human being, but an inspiring mentor.
