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.

Sometimes the most important project you manage is not a project at all. A few months ago, Emmanuel reached out to me on LinkedIn.

He listened. He applied. We started with the basics. We improved his LinkedIn profile. We clarified his story. We worked on his CV and visibility. Slowly, he became more confident. He started posting. He started connecting. He started creating opportunities. Then he

I did not design my offer in my head. 300 strangers built it for me, one call at a time. I saw one of those "build a $15k a month side hustle" infographics. Normally these make me nervous. They always look too clean. And they sell you their guru fantasies. Step 1, find a problem. Step 2, post content. Step 3, send DMs. Step 4, do calls. Step 5, build a paid community. Step 6, make money. Technically, that is the sequence. But it is not the real story. The real story is messier: You test. You adjust. You get confused. You change your wording, your offer, your price. You realise th

Independence is not jumping off a cliff. It is building the bridge that stops the fall. A senior professional said something to me last week that I hear constantly. "I know I cannot stay like this forever. But I also do not know what comes next." Maybe you know that feeling. From the outside, nothing looks broken. You still have the role. The title. The salary. The experience people respect. But inside, something has shifted. The politics cost more energy than they used to. The purpose feels thinner. And every "safe" option looks like the same trap with a different logo. This is wher
