VITO LEONE

On behalf of the client, a leading entertainment platform, my role involves providing specialized product expertise on advertising solutions to help clients effectively manage and optimize their overall campaign performance, directly impacting their KPIs and a wide range of metrics. This begins with assisting clients in campaign setup, guiding them through targeting, ad creation, robust tracking implementation, and strategic budget allocation to lay a solid foundation for reliable data collection. Beyond direct client support, I collaborate on escalating complex technical issues and providing feedback that contributes to platform improvements.

In this role, I acted as a consultant in project financing for entertainment companies (film, television, music and gaming) by identifying and securing state and local tax credits and grant programs. This includes thorough analysis of legal tender requirements, project proposals and budgets, as well as managing the full grant application lifecycle from research and submission to strict compliance monitoring and reporting.

I consistently conducted due diligence on target companies, meticulously reviewing financial records, contracts, and legal documents. My expertise lied in preparing comprehensive due diligence reports that effectively summarize findings and pinpoint potential risks.

Provided comprehensive HR support by responding to employee inquiries on policies and benefits, facilitating new hire onboarding, and assisting with internal communications. Contributed to recruitment efforts, including posting jobs, screening resumes, and scheduling interviews. Supported performance management processes through review preparation, goal tracking, and meeting coordination, while also supervising HRIS transactions for data updates, reporting, and system troubleshooting.

In a startup environment, I actively contributed to business development by researching and identifying potential leads through diverse online channels, including databases and social media. I then qualified these leads against predefined criteria to assess their interest and suitability for our educational programs. My responsibilities also included maintaining and updating the CRM database to ensure data accuracy, and initiating contact with prospective leads via phone, email, and social media to introduce company programs, answer inquiries, and effectively close sales.

As part of an educational program during my college studies, I assisted the political liaison office in organizing meetings between Italian and American counterparts. I also participated in conferences and meetings focused on international politics, and helped with the organization of various programs, initiatives, and events aimed at promoting Italian culture.
