FDC
Francesco Di Ciommo, or simply Francesco, as he prefers people to call right after meeting him.
FDC Consulting Digital ESG is a consultancy company that bears the name of its creator, a trait union towards an unexplored world, which inherits and consolidates all the characteristics of a philosophy that starts from afar.
Francesco, from the city of Salerno, precisely, holds a degree with full marks in Business Economics and an extensive training journey in the United States and Europe.
The same question resonates in his mind and heart:
Is it possible to base the entrepreneur’s activities on meritocracy, human capital and tangible results?
In 2014, the first major challenge took shape: the acquisition of Ford Authos, a long-established dealership and a key reference point in Turin and the Piedmont region.
A decision driven by a clear vision: to rethink the traditional dealership model by placing people, merit, and the ability to generate long-term value at its core.
The mission involved:
→ a profound transformation of the business model;
→ the building of a highly qualified team;
→ a work culture grounded in responsibility and results.
A force-nine navigation that, in the years that followed, led the company to evolve into an advanced benchmark within the industry, eventually stabilising its course towards the economic strength.
The next level is represented by a bet: the transition to digital, to be faced with a real all-in.
No more investments in flyers and advertising spaces in newspapers, but a data-driven strategy to capture a new community of online users, positioning Authos at the top of the car sales market, even during the pandemic’s darkest moments.
From Salerno to international credibility. To earn such status, you need an especial project. One of those where one day the phone rings and on the other side is Elena Ford herself, great-granddaughter of Henry Ford II.
”Congratulations Francesco!
The Smart Lab is the to-go dealership prototype, where visitors to a shopping centre can admire, test and purchase their favourite car model while shopping.
This innovative concept has been appreciated and widespread across the world, from Turin to Shanghai, from Brussels to Sydney.
From success in the automotive world to consultancy for small and medium-sized businesses. Thus began a support activity for companies and associations that with the revision of their business model and a new communication approach, strategically, positioned themselves in their reference market
It was during that moment that Francesco became interested in a supportive and sustainable corporate strategy which led to transforming Authos into the first Benefit Corporation dealer on the national territory.
A milestone to be celebrated and shared with other entities. Companies eager to undertake a metamorphosis, allowing themselves to be guided and accompanied by those who have been able to promote virtuous change.
Because only those who have experienced a first-hand change, can help those who don’t know how to do it.
That’s the goal of FDC Consulting Digital ESG!
