Renato is a Venetian Londoner who ran a travel company for over two decades. He has been a workplace coach, university lecturer, teacher and an educational assessor obsessed with the nuances and intricacies of marking coursework and exam papers.

When the Pandemic of 2020 finally released its grubby grip, he took the opportunity to change career and became a UK Government Civil Servant. His clients were no longer ‘discriminating’ holiday makers and business travellers, but unemployed and disadvantaged people. He learned a lot.

His first book, The Beautiful Mind Game used lessons from football to show how the sport provides metaphors and strategies for life.
