Francesca Danzi

Francesca Danzi is a Transformational Leader, Luxury Advisor and Professionally Qualified, ICF accredited, Co-Active Executive, Leadership and Business Coach with over 20 years international experience in top luxury and fashion brands, global consulting firms, brand agencies, and tech startups.

Former Chief Client Officer with Tory Burch and Director of Strategic Customer Initiatives with Burberry, Francesca is known for challenging organizational silos and facilitating innovation processes that bring ambitious visions to life.

  • Working with Francesca has been a game-changer for me during a time of uncertainty in my career. She's been like a guiding light, helping me find clarity and confidence when I needed it most. With her support, I started seeing my worth and embracing new opportunities with excitement rather than fear. I've found clarity in my career, confidence in myself, and a newfound sense of peace. If you're feeling lost or uncertain, I highly recommend.

  • Francesca looks at digital transformation through the customer lens. I engaged with Danzi Consulting to help inform the digital transformation I was leading at Tory Burch and Francesca became my “partner in crime” for over three years, successfully driving implementation and adoption of key technology solutions for omnichannel retail and customer experience.

    John Douglas – Chief Technology Officer Gymshark

  • Francesca has a great ability to ask insightful questions and a unique talent to reframe and challenge my thinking, which helps me gain clarity on my goals and values in each session. Compared to other coaches I worked with in the past, what I particularly appreciate with Francesca is her ability to provide constructive and pragmatic feedback. You know what needs to be done and there is no room for non-sense with her!

    Audrey Duet - Chief Product Officer AI

  • Going beyond theory, Francesca uses practical strategies in her coaching sessions. She has a remarkably powerful and positive attitude which is in and of itself inspiring and it creates a supportive environment for growth.

  • During our sessions I was encouraged to write down my thoughts, or maybe move around, to shift perspective and activate body and emotions. My best ideas came from the interaction or communication with Francesca. The sessions have helped me unlock my potential and navigate through the complex worlds of work and life.

  • Francesca truly understands the power of unifying data, relationships and commerce. The Customer One to One platform which we built in-house at Burberry was a game changing app for retail stores and associates. Francesca was instrumental in gathering business requirements, interpreting data and leading multiple business work streams to deliver the project.

    Cathy McCabe, CEO Proximity

  • The insights provided by the customer experience assessment framework Danzi Consulting created and executed for rag&bone when I was CMO there were exactly what we needed to start the omni-channel transformation of the business.

    Johanna Murphy – SVP Consumer Marketing and Global Digital Commerce Michael Kors

  • Your coaching has helped me identify my strengths and areas for growth, enabling me to become a better version of myself, both professionally and personally. I want to express my deepest appreciation for the positive impact you've had on my life. Your coaching has been transformative and I feel better equipped to face the challenges that lie ahead. Thank you for your unwavering support, insightful guidance, and the safe space you provided for my growth.

    Tsvetan Atanasov - Production Manager Film Studios

  • Francesca brings a humanistic approach to processes, customer experience and innovation. Collaborating with Danzi Consulting in several projects, I have had the chance to appreciate Francesca’s sophisticated understanding of customers and their expectations. Francesca turns data into business solutions that are human-centred and relevant.

    Dr. Federica Carlotto – Director Master Luxury Business, Sotheby’s Institute of Art

  • This week I had an incredible coaching session with Francesca Danzi. It gave me clarity, helped me reframe my mindset and set achievable goals for the near future. Highly recommended her work for both individuals and teams looking to grow their leadership skills! Thank you so much Francesca!
