Jack Ball – Director, Advisor and Angel Investor at Biotech Companies
I brought Alberto into Aquaro for the CEO role. It was his first CEO role which he handled well. I was the Executive Chairman at Aquaro and worked with Alberto to raise $10M in venture and angel funding to help drive the product development and commercial efforts of Aquaro. Alberto did a great job of building a team of 20 professionals and keeping them aligned in their strategic direction and motivated. I would highly recommend Alberto for a CEO role at a startup or a COO role at a large multinational company. He was a pleasure to work with at Aquaro.
Jim Caudill – Chief Executive Officer, CEO, Public and Private Company Board Member
Alberto is a very detailed oriented and strategic CFO with excellent interpersonal skills. Alberto supported our business during a transition period and I found him to be an excellent resource with deep financial understanding, sound strategic thinking and an open, honest and transparent way of communicating. I would highly recommend Alberto for a senior financial role.

Aberto is one of the most talented and skilled financial professional I have met in my career. Team oriented, confident, hard worker, intuitive are some of the personal characteristics I like in Alberto. Alberto international background and ability to work in different industries and settings allow him to be an effective and strategic change agent in a very short period of time .
George Heath – Director / Advisor / Educator / Investor
I’ve been lucky to have worked with outstanding Controllers throughout my career. Maybe the best was Alberto Elli. His CFO-like approach, his truly global mindset, his ability to think outside the box, his high integrity, and his strategic thinking capability make him not only an asset, but a partner. We accomplished great things as a newly created Group at Sherwin-Williams, and he was instrumental in making that happen. He has my highest recommendation.
Simon Chu – Projects Post-Money Controller . Fosunpharma
I worked with Alberto when he was the Group Controller for Global Finishes Group Sherwin-Williams. Alberto is very knowledgeable of global business and specifically in China and ASEAN culture; he sets clear expectations and goals that are constantly measured, mainly in profit improvement and cash generation. His style is to empower individuals and to create high performing finance organizations; at times, Alberto is more than willing to drill-down in local and technical details. He is not only a kind boss, also be a good life mentor for us!
