What Modulo Group does

Modulo Group (legal entity: Gruppo Modulo Srl) is an Italian management consulting firm headquartered in Padova, Italy, with an additional office in Krakow, Poland. The firm's consulting lineage traces to 1990, with the current corporate entity formed in 2012 through the merger of Modulo Marketing and Modulo Innovazione. The company operates as a partner-led boutique consultancy with 14+ professionals, serving entrepreneurs, boards, C-level executives, and HR directors across Italian SMEs, family-owned businesses, growing companies, and private equity portfolio companies.

The firm's service portfolio is organized into three pillars: (1) Leader & Talent Acquisition, comprising Executive Search, Head Hunting for Manager & Professional, and International Projects; (2) Human Capital Empowerment, including People Assessment, Leadership Academy, Leadership Accelerator, and Coaching; and (3) Governance & Organization, covering Analisi di Clima (climate analysis), Board Services, Family Business advisory, Private Equity support, and the ART EXP experiential learning program. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, Italian Ministry of Labor authorization for personnel search and selection, and GDPR compliance credentials.

Modulo Group generates revenue through professional services engagements (executive search retained mandates, leadership development programs, coaching, and organizational consulting) priced on a custom, quote-based basis with multi-year contracts. The go-to-market is direct and consultative, relying on a senior partner-led discovery process, relationship-based selling, content marketing, and participation in industry events (e.g., IMPACT Padova).
