Knowledge
We transfer knowledge, not opinions. Every project is also an education for the client.
About us
The institutional governance firm.
Governance Advisors was founded on the experience of professionals with decades of practice on boards, committees and supervisory bodies. Since 2016 we have put one simple idea at the centre: sound governance is a company's first competitive advantage.
Our history
A history made of people.
The firm was born from the meeting of professionals with diverse backgrounds: governance, audit, legal, finance, training, geopolitics, cyber security. A team that has served on the boards of family businesses, listed groups and public institutions.
Over the years Governance Advisors has established itself as a point of reference for those seeking an independent partner — one able to read complexity without simplifying it, and to translate it into practical tools for decision-makers.
Today we are nine partners and an extended network of collaborators. Three offices — Milan, Bologna, Rome — one firm, one method.
Our mission
Supporting leaders in the decisions that matter.
Governance Advisors exists to work alongside business leaders, chairs, chief executives and boards of directors in taking decisions that are informed, sustainable and consistent with the culture of the organisation.
We believe sound governance is neither a cost nor a formality: it is the condition that makes resilience, orderly growth and the transmission of value over time possible.
Our values
Five principles we do not negotiate.
These are the principles anyone working with us can always count on. They guide us with our clients and among ourselves.
Passion
We believe in governance as a concrete lever of value. It is our reason for working.
Openness
We look for new ideas, emerging models, useful cross-pollination. We are not afraid of doubt.
Collaboration
We work with our clients, not for our clients. Solutions are built together.
Sharing
We publish, we write, we teach. What we learn goes back to the professional community.
Our method
Three movements. No compromise.
We follow a structured, tailored methodology — no prefabricated templates. Every mandate moves to the same rhythm.
Diagnosis of the existing governance.
We get to know the organisation, its market, its stakeholders. We map strengths and fragilities.
Tailor-made solutions, no templates.
We design models, committees, information flows and procedures starting from the client's culture.
We stay for as long as it takes.
We support the organisation through execution: training, governance reviews, presence in the boardroom.
