ABOUT ME
“I am an Aquarian, an idea person never suffering a drought of inspiration”
Max Comuzzi - Master Life Coach
MY HERITAGE
My full name is Massimo and I was born and bred in the Venice area, North-East of Italy, where, as they say locally, people from the south live in the north.
Venice is a collision of warm Mediterranean culture and a Northern European pragmatic approach to life. It’s the richness of that heritage, brought by the Venetian trade routes and the cultural order of the Austro-Hungarian empire, that naturally ignited my creativity and curiosity for the world.
Later I relocated across London and Singapore, large international ports and multi cultural melting pots. This where I thrive and I am at my best, navigating in the sea of opportunities and ready for a constant change of weather. I love visual arts, particularly photography and drawing. And of course cooking, barbecuing is my culinary art.
MY CAREER
1987: after my Humanities classic studies, I embarked on a pioneering career in IT.
At the time, IT was a science to be learned on the job. Coding on IBM mainframe was an adventure and within 5 years I was a senior IBM software engineer building accounting ledgers across the construction, logistic and manufacturing industries in the industrial North of Italy.
1998: the magnet of the Y2K projects took me to London, UK, and into the Finance industry. The multi cultural environment, the exposure to world-class professionals and the availability of the latest training paths, offered me a personal growth beyond my wildest dreams.
2010: I relocated to Singapore. I was in charge for large scale projects leading IT teams across a number of Asian regions. As a People Manager, my job was to pull cultures differences together, channeling the collective power of diversity to meet the challenging project deadlines.
What a ride mastering the craft of software engineering, the knowledge of Banking products, the discipline of project management and the art of leadership.

Today
2016: Back in London. The experience of empowering people shifted my career to Life Coaching, my passion and my vocation today.
I turned to professional coaching following an intense 2-year training. A life changing experience where you can see yourself in the mirror. It taught me to be deeply intentional and real in my own life, by walking the coaching talk.
Today I do what I love, by coaching: experienced professionals for major life changes with the power of creativity, entrepreneurs to develop a growth mindset and also students from diverse background for transitioning to work with confidence. It’s a mix of professional and volunteering services, both streams feeding each other with rich human experiences.
