About FINO

Il Futuro È Ora

The future is now. That's what FINO means. It's a belief that the change organizations need isn't coming someday. It's available right now, inside the people who are already there.

The Origin Story

Why We Built FINO

Anna spent over a decade inside fast-moving organizations, always close to the founder, always in the room where things were actually breaking down. She could build systems, move fast, hold teams together. But she kept watching the same thing happen. Good companies, smart people, real potential. And then something underneath would pull everything sideways. Conflict nobody named. Patterns that repeated no matter how many processes they built.

Dario spent twenty years as a psychologist and facilitator working with groups and communities across Europe and the Americas. Trained in organizational psychology and in the ancient practices of Sumak Kawsay, he has held transformational space internationally for two decades. He kept seeing the same thing: when people have real space to name what's happening inside, everything in the system shifts.

We have been partners for ten years. We built FINO because we couldn't find what we were looking for anywhere else. A practice that works at the human layer. Parts work, IFS, somatic practices, organizational psychology, and initiatory experiences. All in service of one thing: people who can lead themselves when it matters.

FINO was born from a simple belief. The most important thing you can build in an organization isn't a better process. It's people who know how their own inner system works. Il futuro è ora. The future of work is human. It always was.

Born in Russia. Moved to Argentina at 13, to the United States at 20. Each time I landed somewhere new I had to figure out systems that weren't built for me, learn fast, and build stability from nothing. I put myself through college and a master's degree working two jobs. Then spent a decade inside startups, always close to the founder, always in the room where things were actually breaking down. I burned out too. Not dramatically. Just slowly, until I didn't recognize myself. That's when two paths that had been running in parallel finally met. Years of inner work through breathwork, movement, meditation, and transformational circles around the world. IFS gave me the language to bring both worlds together. I trained in Internal Family Systems at the IFS Institute, Levels 1, 2, and 3, and in Deep Transformational Coaching. I've worked with clients across more than 15 countries. The work is practical. It shows up in real conversations, real decisions, real relationships. But it goes to the root. That's the only place change actually happens.

Co-Founder

  • Organizational Psychologist
  • IFS Practitioner
  • 20+ years working with groups and communities

I am a psychologist, a medicine man, and a vision quester. For over twenty years I have dedicated my life to individual and collective transformation, working at the intersection of modern organizational psychology and the ancient wisdom of Sumak Kawsay, the art of living well. I trained at Sapienza University in Rome, then spent years working in Latin America with communities navigating trauma and systemic breakdown. I studied under traditional medicine men and have held sweat lodges, vision quests, and sacred ceremonies across Europe and the Americas for two decades. I founded Fuoco Sacro in Italy and Sumak Kawsay Iglesia del Buen Vivir in Florida, both dedicated to preserving and sharing the wisdom of indigenous traditions. At FINO, I bring that depth into organizational life.

The Name

What FINO Means

FINO stands for Il Futuro È Ora, Italian for The Future Is Now.

It's a reminder that the transformation organizations are waiting for isn't somewhere in the future. Not in the next strategy cycle, the next reorg, the next hire. It's available now, in the people who are already here, if they learn to access what's inside them.

The future of work is human. And the future is now.
