In a world quick to chase shortcuts and shiny credentials, Angelo Strazzella plays the long game. As President of Enosi Holding, he doesn’t measure leadership in metrics alone, but in values that endure. “If I had to define myself in three words,” he says, “I’d say: perseverant, tenacious, and positive.” These aren’t just personality traits. These principles have shaped his journey and the corporate culture he now supervises.
Surrounded by a competitive sector where most aim to win at all costs, Angelo has chosen a different path. His compass is set not to conquest but to nurture. “I strive to cultivate a healthy business culture,” he explains. It is a philosophy that doesn’t just draw in profits but aligns purpose with performance. That clarity of intent has become the nucleus of the company’s success story.
Rather than chase after ready-made stars, he is the kind of leader who spots the flicker before the flame. He invests in potential, sees strength in development, and nurtures talent in collaborators, partners, and even clients. It’s this uncommon commitment to human capital, not just market capital, that quietly fuels Enosi’s spirit of enterprise. And in a time when authenticity is rare, that kind of leadership stands out.
During one of the days of his busy weeks, Angelo squeezes some time out and engages in an interactive conversation. This interview captures those excerpts. Stay tuned till the end if you idolize trailblazers who gift the world groundbreaking solutions.
The Innovator’s Edge
Influential business innovators interpret rather than react. For Angelo, the defining trait is an ability to intuitively grasp a company’s vision and purpose, then tackle challenges with astute precision. His open-minded approach helps him maintain clarity in the face of complexity. This blend of insight and restraint has become his hallmark, allowing him to stay agile and effective in a global market demanding speed and strategic depth.
“Promoting an organizational culture requires leadership that can blend not only diverse but also divergent aspects across sectors and work teams,” expresses Angelo. At Enosi, innovation is cultivated, not just mandated. The President endorses originality over uniformity, recognizing that breakthrough thinking emerges when unconventional perspectives collide. He sees innovation as a living, breathing process shaped by passion, discipline, and the courage to adapt. Across sectors and teams, this mindset sparks continuous improvement. Enosi’s growth stands as proof of a culture where individual ingenuity and collective momentum move in lockstep toward progress. And this is also an outcome underpinned by Angelo’s distinctive management style.
Angelo vouches for Mahatma Gandhi’s words, “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in the rain.” This mindset is at the heart of how the firm approaches innovation. Risk is inevitable; they know it. However, the key lies in embracing the challenge with confidence and foresight, not in taking chances without understanding the consequences. Angelo shares, “Our staff is trained to avoid making decisions under the emotional wave of the moment, which would be mere recklessness and dangerous daring.” Enosi empowers its teams to step out of their comfort zones and explore unconventional ideas. They are also encouraged to take a measured approach to risk-taking, using predictive analysis to assess the potential impact of new strategies and solutions before implementation.
When Passion Equates to Purpose
Most people count down to the weekend, eyeing Friday like a finish line. But for Angelo, there’s no finish line. It’s just flow. “I’ve learned that work (a term derived from ‘travaglio’ in many European languages) begins when ‘what we do no longer pleases us,’ he shares with a knowing smile. Angelo blends his personal passions so impeccably into his professional life that the distinction nearly disappears. To him, work is more like a natural extension of what he loves. While others see long hours and back-to-back engagements, he sees joyful cadence. His days often stretch from early mornings to late evenings, but he never thinks of himself as a “hard worker” in the traditional sense. He feels that work begins only when passion ends; by that measure, he hasn’t worked a single hour. He pursues ideas that are, as he puts it, “new and useful”—concepts that carry both energy and meaning. This way of living, docked in curiosity and conviction, radiates across his teams and into his home life. It’s not balanced by division. Instead, it’s balanced by design, where personal fulfillment feeds professional excellence.
Proud Moments That Multiply
Ask Angelo to pick one initiative he’s most proud of at Enosi, and he hesitates, not out of modesty, but because each feel like a milestone. He responds with a smile: “Which child do you love the most?” For him, every strategy rolled out feels personal, each a deliberate step toward turning opportunity into sustainable progress. Whether it’s anticipating market shifts, delivering tangible results, or unlocking long-term value, the goal remains the same.
He takes the most pride in helping companies grow faster and smarter, with tailored solutions that blend continuous innovation, strategic vision, and the drive to make every move count.
With this rare combination of humility, precision, and transformative impact, it’s undoubtedly clear why Angelo stands among ‘The 10 Most Influential Business Innovators to Watch in 2025.’
Overcoming Challenges with Purpose
Success, for this experienced executive, has never been a smooth ride. The road has been bumpy at times, with setbacks that could easily deter someone less determined. But Angelo is one of those who believes the real test lies in how you maneuver the challenges that come your way. For him, the greatest challenge isn’t the absence of recognition, but the unexpected and overwhelming positive feedback from clients, partners, and collaborators. While gratifying, it often leaves him feeling humbled.
Through it all, Angelo has learned a crucial truth that a company thrives when it’s healthy. In today’s complex global economic climate, with war tensions in over sixty countries and a generally unsettling future, health comes from a foundation built on sustainability, transparency, inclusion, and, above all, the safety and care of people.
Glorious Achievement: Investing Belief in the Next Generation
Every successful person has a personal or professional milestone that stands as a reflection of their values and approach. What about Angelo? His most distinguished achievement does not lie in accolades or titles. Instead, it’s in his trust and belief in the next generation. He sees them as the catalysts for change, driving progress with their fresh perspectives, adaptability, and commitment to addressing global challenges.
As a futuristic leader, Angelo considers their ability to rapidly adopt new technologies and their heightened awareness of global issues as pivotal in reshaping the business landscape. The dexterity and flexibility they bring to the table will push industries forward, creating a more dynamic and inclusive work culture. It’s clear to Angelo that this generation will not just follow trends. Rather, they’ll drive them, expanding the reach and impact of businesses worldwide. He states, “It’s logical to expect these young individuals to have a global vision more attuned to emerging trends and the development of increasing internationalization of new products and services.”
A Legacy of Respect and Opportunity
Angelo considers business success as just one facet of the whole. His actual dedication is to create a future where every aspect of society is firmly interconnected with respect for ethics, diversity, and inclusiveness. Every choice at Enosi reflects this vision. Angelo thinks real innovation is about building a culture where everyone is equally valued, not only about creating new products or services. There should be absolutely no room for creating divisions between “us” and “them.” His focus is on ensuring that young people, especially those just starting their professional journeys, are supported. Enosi continues to open doors for the next generation through internships and mentoring. Angelo remarks, “The future of the world rests with the youth: we stand by them every day.”
Message for the Next Generation of Business Leaders
This prescient trailblazer believes that progress is built on a foundation of seeing the unseen and thinking in ways that challenge the status quo. His advice to the next generation of business leaders is straightforward: “Know how to see beyond the obvious.” Building a culture of innovation requires consistency, patience, and, most importantly, a long-term vision.
But he feels what sets exceptional leaders apart is their ability to “active listening.” It’s not just about allowing others to express themselves but about being open to ideas that may seem contrary to theirs (the aspiring business leaders’). Angelo explains, “A classic example in companies is undetected and thus repeated errors, which often accumulate significantly.” By embracing diverse perspectives, even when they challenge one’s principles, one ensures that the creative process remains fluid. Such an approach facilitates an environment where breakthroughs prosper and mistakes are caught before they grow.
Embracing the Frontier of Intelligent Acceleration
As he looks ahead to 2025 and beyond, Angelo sees a horizon shaped by leaps that redefine what’s possible. Quantum computing tops his list. It’s a transformative force poised to accelerate information processing beyond imaginable scales, revolutionizing sectors from finance to healthcare. Equally compelling is agentic AI. It’s autonomous systems that sense, learn, and act independently, gathering environmental data at unprecedented speed. These technologies signal more than advancement. They represent a deep, ongoing shift in how businesses operate and compete. According to Angelo, steering this future is more about readiness than prediction. In an era characterized by rapid evolution, he believes the most vital skill for leaders will be adapting to and succeeding within an ever-shifting paradigm.
Letting Ideas Grow the Right Way
Beyond pushing boundaries at Enosi, it’s really about keeping curiosity alive. The insightful President Angelo believes that real progress starts with a willingness to explore, even when the answers aren’t obvious. He encourages his team to leave their comfort zone and treat mistakes as part of the process. One phrase they often hear from him: “Don’t ask how it’s done. Try to discover how it could be done better.”
This perspective shapes how work happens at Enosi. It’s not a traditional, rigid professional process. It’s more like a creative lab, where people are encouraged to think openly, test ideas, and keep the flow going. In Angelo’s view, quantity often clears the path to quality. He reminds his team that generating 100 ideas gives room to pick the strongest. However, with only one, you’re left with no choice. He points out the necessity of creating an environment open to change, describing it as a fertile ground where new, enduring ideas could sprout. The alignment with Enosi’s broader goals isn’t about tightening control. It’s about creating space for ideas to take root and grow strong.
Preparing for Change, Prioritizing People
One of the biggest challenges today is how quickly everything is changing and how hard it can be to keep up. Angelo notes that operating within fluid, highly permeable markets and navigating the evolving meaning of internationalization presents real, complex risks. Enosi is fully aware that staying ahead of these shifts is a continuous and demanding challenge. However, the company holds to one principle: long-term value lies in people. As an old proverb says, “If you want a year of prosperity, grow grain; if you want ten years, grow trees; but if you want a hundred years of prosperity, grow people.” That belief remains at the heart of how Enosi prepares for the future. Angelo concludes with a conviction, “We love to grow people.” That’s how the company stays true to its mission, while always looking ahead.
