The roast
Pierpaolo turned a 30-year financial career into an AIDVANCE business model that consists entirely of teaching other middle-aged people how to write LinkedIn posts about losing their jobs. He’s the only consultant in Switzerland charging five figures to prove that if you spend enough time typing, you can eventually turn a midlife crisis into a full-time hobby.
About Pierpaolo
You have decades of experience. So why isn't anyone paying for it yet?The answer is simpler than you think. And it's not what you expect.I work with experienced professionals who've hit a career crossroads.Maybe the market stopped recognizing what you bring. Maybe you're done waiting and ready to build something of your own. Maybe you've already started but the traction isn't there.I've been exactly where you are.After 30 years in financial services - leading portfolios, PMOs, and large-scale transformations across Europe - I was made redundant at 54. One day I was managing CHF 200 million in front of senior executives. The next, I couldn't get a callback. That's when I built AIDVANCE. I treated my situation like a project. Clear problem. Options. Decision points. A system. Within 8 months I reached Top 1% worldwide on LinkedIn and #1 in Career Coaching in Switzerland and Italy. 𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐝𝐨 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫.30+ professionals. Senior roles landed in weeks. Apps launched. Practices built. Clients signed. All from experience they thought had stopped converting.Julie, PMO Leader: "Working with Pierpaolo after my job loss was nothing short of transformative. Each session felt like catching up with a good friend but had the tangible results of a great master class."Alexandre, Portfolio Leader: "The output far exceeded expectations. This combination of strategic clarity, empathy, and actionable guidance is rare."Today, I help experienced professionals:👉 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿: on who you are, what problem you solve, and what your experience is actually worth.👉 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗱: a clear offer, a rebuilt narrative, and a LinkedIn presence that attracts the right people.👉 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴: build an independent practice with real clients, or land a senior role that matches your true worth.What this looks like in practice: → Independent practice design and client acquisition → Career repositioning and authority building → LinkedIn visibility that actually convertsI don't do motivation speeches. I build with you. 📌 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲. 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫. 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.

Discipline is not willpower. It is fewer daily negotiations. I know, discipline is not heroic. And most days, it is just not negotiating with yourself again. But that is why this Ronaldo clip lands. He does not say he loves going to the gym every day. He says the opposite. Nobody loves it every day. But you do it because something changes after. Not only in your body. In your mind. And I think this is where many people misunderstand discipline. They imagine it as massive willpower. Big energy. A special kind of strength. But most of the time, discipline is much smaller than that. It is c

Pssst. I found the LinkedIn strategy nobody wants to admit. Your best post will probably not be the one that brings clients. Last week, I got my highest-performing post of the year. It was a video of a bird building its nest. 120K impressions. 1K engagements. Then I spent more than two hours building a detailed infographic on how an independent practice is actually built and sustained. My core topic. My core audience. My core offer. It barely reached 1K impressions (but got me 2 new clients!) Then I posted a personal reflection. One year on LinkedIn. 8K followers. The story behind AIDVAN
