Lorenzo Delpani

Founder of Ideanauta S.r.l. Investor and strategic advisor. Former global CEO in beauty and fast moving consumer goods (FMCG).

I build brands and products that people genuinely love to use. My work sits at the intersection of consumer insight, innovation, and disciplined execution.

Quick background: 

I am Italian, born in Brescia. I consider myself a global citizen and I am fluent in five languages. I have lived and worked in eight countries across five global corporations in consumer goods and beauty: Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Reckitt Benckiser, The Colomer Group (TCG, owned by CVC Capital Partners), and Revlon, where I served as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

What I do today: 

I founded Ideanauta S.r.l., a venture studio that creates and develops new brands and innovations in healthcare, beauty, wellness, and personal care. I also work with founders, investors, and boards on strategy, innovation pipelines, brand building, and go to market execution.

Recognition: 

Over my career I have led the development and launch of multiple high impact innovations across consumer categories, earning more than 15 Product of the Year awards. In 2015, I was honored as Marketer of the Year in Beauty (mass market) by Women’s Wear Daily (WWD) and recognized by Adweek among influential leaders in marketing, media, and technology. I am also named as an inventor on patents in personal care categories including hair care, nail care, and deodorant.

How I think about innovation: 

To me, innovation is a form of art, the practical expression of human creativity, knowledge, and imagination. When it is done well, it becomes performance people can feel in real life, not a concept deck.

Personal note: I am energetic, direct, and radically honest. I aim for the light side of the Force, but I am not a Jedi. I am a gladiator in the arena, focused on creating value and building things that last.
