Tano Rebora
From a technical background in IBM, Tano first developed his business experience with ‘blue chip’ executive levels at American Express, Nestle and Commercial Union, amongst others, across a range of B2B sectors such as Manufacturing, Retail and Finance.
His first operational challenges, however, came with his move into an international Software Company dealing with the logistics sector, where he became the M.D. of various subsidiaries, with turnover ranging from £1 to 150 million. Frequently placed in turnaround or start-up operations, Tano has been credited with successfully growing company revenues, increasing profits and developing highly performing teams in highly competitive scenarios.
