About FINO

We watched good companies break. So we built FINO.

Operations and psychology, brought to the same team. We started FINO because fixing the systems alone never held.

Our mission

We help teams build the systems they run on, and we work with the people running them.

Our vision

A future of work where every team is a community. The systems and the AI serve the people, and the people can lead themselves under pressure.

Why we started FINO

A company we believed in broke over a conflict nobody would name.

Anna spent over ten years as the operations person next to founders, in real estate, fintech and health tech. At one company she believed in, she built the operations, the project team and the goals. She watched it break anyway.

There was a conflict at the top that nobody would name. What broke was what ran inside the people under pressure, and no process could reach it.

So she trained in what was missing: Internal Family Systems at the IFS Institute, through Level 3, and deep transformational coaching.

Dario, an organizational psychologist, spent twenty years facilitating groups across Europe and the Americas. He kept arriving at the same place. When people can name what is happening inside them, the whole system moves.

We have been partners for ten years, in work and in life. We both coach and facilitate, and Anna also builds the systems. FINO is where the two meet.

We work with both. We start where the team is, and keep the other side in view.

The name

FINO stands for Il Futuro È Ora.

Italian for the future is now. This work does not need to wait for the next strategy cycle or the next round of hiring.

The people who can change how an organization works are already on the payroll.

Who we are

Two people. We do the work ourselves.

We take a few teams at a time, so we know the names of the people on your team.

How we work together

What you can expect from us.

People first

The people in the room matter more than the plan. We listen to the people who do the work before we build anything.

Clear, and kind

We say what we see, with care.

We stay involved

We stay close to the work. When something is not working we say so, including when it is us.

The novel

Already in a Meeting. A story about a team under pressure.

Anna's novel follows five people at a small wellness startup, each running on old patterns at work without knowing it. Funny, inspired by Internal Family Systems, and a gentle way into the inner side of work.
