Ezio has spent decade inside elite sport — working from the boardroom to locker-room, with players and coaches from the English Premier League, the Matildas, UCI cycling champions, including international cup winners — as well as twenty years coaching, leading and training global teams across organisations such as Amazon, Cisco and Telstra.
At a personal level, for 30 years, Ezio has kept a personal journal (longer than most of the athletes he works with have been alive), written his own eulogy in 1996 which he reviews weekly, studied psychology at Charles Sturt University, and raised five children —all shaping his lessons on resilience, energy, and purpose.
Ezio’s style is energetic, engaging, fast paced and unapologetically real. He’ll challenge you to roll up your sleeves, sharpen your pencil, and get to work—to think and re-think the way you lead, perform, and connect.
Whether you’re a sports fan, an occasional gym-goer, or someone with zero interest in athletics, his insights resonate because they’re grounded in real experiences and delivered in a human, relatable way. Audiences often describe his sessions as thought-provoking, enthusiastic, and laced with a healthy dose of Aussie humour. He weaves high-energy storytelling with deliberate moments of pause to create space for reflection and self-assessment. This unique blend of performance, provocation, and participation ensures every audience member connects with the message—and walks away with practical insights that stick well beyond the event.
Ezio combines all of this and developed the ‘Corporate Athlete Model’, challenging and equipping professionals in the corporate world to think, talk and walk like Corporate Athletes.
Because just like the elite athletes Ezio works with, in the corporate world, we can go from hero to zero overnight, everything is measured, numbers drive everything, and we must perform under conditions of intense pressure, uncertainty and change. This is why Ezio believes you and your team are Corporate Athletes, and this is your season to shine!
Ezio is one of the 32 expert authors featured in the book Peak Performance: Mindset Tools for Managers, which explores the habits of top-level managers, the actions peak performing managers take, and the strategies they employ.
