About Us

The history of Sapiens is made of encounters, of those magical moments where, thanks to the unexpected, something new and important is born, a special energy that develops with those we collaborate with.

Sapiens is the adventure of the entire human race, but it is also a metaphor that describes the narrative of the society we have created, and of the commitment we have wanted to take on. Sapiens reminds us of wisdom, the ability to ponder, a broad vision of reality, the ability to not lose the teachings of the past or the sense of the future, it speaks to us of the need not to proceed by undue simplifications, but rather of the ability to hold together the complexities that the challenges of the future reserve for us, without losing what the past has taught us, aware that everything we can do for the future is played out in the present.

We believe that attention to people, as individuals, societies or the entire human race, is a key to understanding, essential to embrace. To exit the Anthropocene, Sapiens is the essential key. Its role is crucial in two ways: with our behaviors we can favor, directly and indirectly, the extinction of the human race, or focus on Sapiens, as a metaphor and engine of action and learn to protect and preserve the entire ecosystem that guarantees life. We have chosen, and you?

Our Values

Our future is in the hands of a complex, uncertain present, often difficult to decipher and understand. The choices we make are reflected in what will happen tomorrow. We believe that, in facing these challenges, people, businesses and organizations must play a crucial role towards society and nature. Today more than ever, they are called to co-create, distribute and share Value for the benefit of the community, society and the entire ecosystem. The values ​​that guide us are still, comfort, home: an irreplaceable compass that requires awareness, inner clarity, openness and rootedness.

Presence

The state of “presence” is the ability to participate in what is happening with our entire being. It means co-creating by sharing emotions, perspectives, hopes, generating a vision to which everyone can contribute and belong. It means awareness of what is happening, acceptance of what emerges, responsibility towards the paths that are generated. A quality that unites great leaders who have led others to achieve great results. We work alongside companies and their leaders to access this privileged dimension of co-creation of the future.

Diversity and uniqueness

Diversity is the basis of organic and social life. As biologists, ecologists and sociologists teach us, only by differentiating can life prosper and develop. Caring for diversity means cultivating creativity and talent, the distinctive abilities of each individual. We help companies rediscover themselves as unique and unrepeatable within a new context, outlined by criteria of social and environmental responsibility.

Value

Intended in its breadth and depth, it is the most important reference to guide thoughts and behaviors. For us, Value is not just an abstract ideal horizon to strive for, or an advantage that concerns a few; rather, it identifies an ethical perspective that engages us all equally, so that we can create the individual and collective conditions capable of generating well-being and prosperity for all. Our promise is to support companies in generating Value for all stakeholders.

Intransigence

Our experience in the sector teaches us that there are different motivations that lead entrepreneurs and managers to commit to the transition towards sustainability and social responsibility, with one thing in common: the destination is often not clear.

This is why our task is to guide companies to find their way, aware that, for part of the journey, we will be their “sustainability compass”.

Our Sustainability

We are proudly a Benefit Company
In line with our values, we integrate the concept of “shared value” into our business model, inextricably connecting economic progress with social progress. We have set ourselves the goal, also by statute, of pursuing a positive impact and adopting governance behaviors oriented towards Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), also orienting our administrative body and the entire organization in this direction.
We will draft and publish our Impact Report annually as required by paragraphs 382 and 383, as well as Annexes 4 and 5 to Law no. 208 of 28 December 2015. We are the founders and promoters of the “People” Foundation, established in 2025 to offer support to new generations and communities of native societies in distant territories.

Alessandra Zeni

A graduate in Economics and Business Management, soon to graduate in International Business and Finance, I fully share the values of Sapiens. I believe in the urgency of building the foundations for a sustainable future today, and in the importance of spreading culture and awareness, because only through sharing can we generate a positive, lasting and accessible impact for all.

Diana Perales

I have a background in legal studies, with experience in corporate and contract law and an MBA in Sustainability Management. As Project Manager at Sapiens, I coordinate sustainable transition projects and multidisciplinary teams. I believe in creating shared value, thinking about future generations, and that every challenge can become an opportunity for transformation.

Clara Durosini

I am CSRD Specialist in Sapiens, graduated in Agri-food Economics, with experience in business processes, market analysis and strategic consulting.

I believe that coherence between business and values ​​is fundamental, and that sustainability can become a concrete lever for efficiency, innovation and enhancement of the supply chain, if managed with competence.

With Sapiens, I accompany companies towards paths of positive impact, helping to make sustainability recognized as a strategic resource and value creation.

Renato De Marco

I trained in consulting, artificial intelligence and industry, covering managerial roles and developing strategic partnerships. In Sapiens I contribute to business growth with vision and concreteness, convinced that innovation must guide the transition towards more responsible and aware business models, in which ethics and growth can coexist.

Elisa Rivetti

My educational path between digital economy and environmental economics has allowed me to combine sensitivity for ESG issues with a data-oriented analytical approach. At Sapiens I contribute to the construction of tailor-made sustainability paths for companies, transforming numbers into concrete strategies and actions. I believe that sustainability is not just a necessity, but a conscious choice, to be faced with responsibility and vision towards the future.

Mauro Vaia

For more than twenty years I have been a promoter, in the world of companies, organizations and societies, of a responsible approach to business, social development and personal growth. I pay particular attention to accompanying the human side of the company, because I believe that people make the difference. I am convinced that by strengthening the true mission of “doing business”, companies can, by making use of social responsibility and sustainability, generate resilience and long-term success. After having held important positions in the world of advisory consultancy, I founded, with Alessandra, Sapiens Srl SB, of which I am a partner and director. I am also the author of several essays and books including IL VALORE AL DI LA’ DI DIO, pensare uno spazio morale per le sfida del XXI secolo, Ed. Armando, 2020.

Alessandra Bresciani

In 2000, as an entrepreneur, I founded Zato Spa, a company that produces and distributes worldwide systems for the metal recovery and recycling industry, and I was its CEO until recently. I currently hold positions on the boards of directors of Private Equity Funds.

I am, together with Mauro, a founding partner and administrator of Sapiens Srl SB, because I firmly believe in the collective responsibility of identifying new perspectives and opportunities that the sustainability theme offers to those like us who want to pursue them to generate greater value in our entrepreneurial project.
