Enrico Ferrari — Co-Founder
Over the past 12 years, I've helped scale 100+ companies from early-stage to post-IPO across Europe, the US and Australia. But my journey started in a small town in Italy. It was in that small town, where my parents bootstrapped their own business from nothing. From a young age, that entrepreneurial spirit shaped me, so after finishing my master's in finance, I wanted to break into the startup world. I thought: "What better place to start than Rocket Internet?" I applied multiple times - and got rejected multiple times. So I found another way in - through the back door. I joined Deltamethod, an ad tech company founded by Rocket's former head of search marketing. Within a year, the same people who had rejected me were reaching out - including Rocket Internet. That led to seven years at Rocket Internet, where I eventually became Global CMO. During my time at Rocket, I helped build some of the most successful digital companies in Europe and Southeast Asia, including Delivery Hero, Zalando, Lazada, and Westwing. In 2017, I led the critical hyper-growth phase as Chief Growth Officer of HelloFresh in the US, immediately following its IPO. Today, I partner with ambitious founders, CEOs, and investors through my firm, Growth Vision Partners. I specialize in bridging strategy and execution across 3 core areas: - performance marketing channels (paid search, social, display) - growth enablers (technology, measurement, analytics) - operating models (team structure, processes, coaching) I also occasionally invest, speak, and teach, mostly on topics related to growth, leadership, and marketing measurement. When I’m not working, I’m usually working out, acting for stage or film, or playing rock music on my electric guitar. On LinkedIn, I write about growth from every angle: business growth, career growth, and personal growth. If that resonates with you, follow along. I’d love to share the journey with you. 🙌
