Colleagues describe him as "January 15, 2014 To whom it may concern: Please accept my endorsement of Francesco Poletti as a very good candidate to an internship in your Company. I teach Marketing Principles, Consumer Behavior and Branding at ESCP Europe, one of the most prestigious Business School in Europe. I am also the Chairman of ETS, the European Association of the Tissue Products Producers. Until 9 years ago, I have been Family Care President for Europe for Kimberly Clark, the producers of Andrex, Kleenex, Hugghies and other leading Brands. I believe my perspectives may be useful in assessing Francesco for a job in a Company. Francesco is brilliant and his choices confirm him to be a true student of the world! He is well informed and his thoughts are deep and well structured. Not only he takes care of a thorough preparation, but he invest energy and quality thinking into the collective activities. I had Francesco as a student attending the Marketing Principles course I teach at ESCP Europe campus in Torino during the Fall of 2013. He has been one of the best students in my course, obtaining a score in the top 10%, thanks to active group work, a very good final examination (where he also confirmed his excellent numerical skills) and also a very active participation during the classroom lessons activity, with some relevant interventions also during the HBS cases discussion. I still remember his work on different Harvard Business cases, such as: • the Black & Decker case, when he outlined that the tradesman are less factual than the Industrial sector in their choices, that the B&D success in the Industrial sector should be used in communication and also clearly articulated the options available to B&D • the Clean Edge case, when he rightly illustrated the different payback time horizons of different types of Companies, with the consequence for Clean Edge to adopt a niche strategy • the One Water case, when he illustrated the advantage for Total of being an early partner and also the different margins of different products categories. And also very good interventions to the Saxonville case, the Commerce Bank case, etc. As I compare Francesco to other graduate students I have had in this and other courses, I would assess him to be of the league of the bests. He will positively address the problems he will work to and will follow any program he initiates through to completion. I am confident any activity will have from him first-rate contributions. If you accept Francesco Poletti for an internship in your Company, you will gain a high energy resource, with broad perspectives and diverse interests. Sincerely, Roberto Berardi"
