Monica Calenti
Managing Partner
Monica has worked in marketing and communications for 15 years, initially at multinational fast-moving consumer goods companies such as Procter & Gamble and Johnson Wax, and later at communications consulting agencies like McCann Worldgroup, where she supported numerous clients in developing their brand strategies and communication campaigns. In 1998, she founded Calenti & Partners, now Ema Partners Italy, with two objectives: to help companies identify and select the best candidates in terms of skills, and to guide individuals through coaching and counseling processes so they can grow, change their perspective, and become their best and most authentic selves. Before combining her work in coaching and assessment with executive search, she pursued various educational paths and obtained several certifications, ranging from Transactional Analysis (counseling) to business coaching. She graduated in Ontological Coaching and Somatic Coaching from Newfield Network in Colorado, USA, and was certified as a Strengths Coach in London with Gallup. As an assessor, she is certified in the use of various tools, including Hogan, the Gallup CliftonStrengths Finder, Deeper Signals, and Emotional Intelligence with Six Seconds. Monica supports both individuals and managers/executives within organizations. The companies she has worked with as a coach include major multinationals in the fast-moving consumer goods, luxury and fashion, communications, and banking sectors.
