15 years inside complex global organisations.
Before coaching, Fabrizio spent over 15 years as an Innovation Leader at SABIC and DSM — two of the world's largest materials science companies. He directed global innovation portfolios across EMEA and the US, led cross-functional teams through high-stakes R&D programs, and was appointed Global Subject Matter Expert for a specialty business line representing 40% of unit revenue.
He received 20+ global awards for leadership and innovation. He filed 30+ IP submissions and secured 10+ patents. He built and mentored teams in environments where the pressure was real, the decisions mattered, and the human dynamics were as complex as the technical challenges.
What he noticed throughout — consistently, across organisations, teams, and levels — was that the most important challenges were never technical. They were human. And they all traced back to the same place: the leader's relationship with themselves.
That observation became the conviction that Nexum is built on.
"I didn't come to coaching from the outside. I came from the inside of organisations — from the pressure, the complexity, and the moments where leadership either makes or breaks what's possible."— Fabrizio, Ph.D. · Founder, Nexum Coaching
Why this matters for you
When Fabrizio sits with a senior leader navigating complexity, he is not applying a framework to a case study. He has been in the room — under the same pressures, facing the same dynamics, making the same kind of decisions. That experience is not a credential. It is the foundation of genuine understanding.
