In this episode, we have Carlo Castelan, founder and managing director of the Navio Group, a consulting firm that helps retail leaders transform their businesses.
Carlo's work centers on partnering with brick‑and‑mortar retailers—often Fortune 1000 brands—looking to shift toward direct‑to‑consumer models or expand into new services, such as health‑care offerings.
Their model emphasizes collaboration: rather than acting as a distant “black box,” They work side‑by‑side with existing teams, lifting operational burdens and helping them think long‑term while maintaining fairness and clear expectations.
