Empowering businesses with 25 years of efficiency driven solutions
Enough theory, more substance.
In an environment crowded with consultants making claims, I focus solely on helping companies with my 30 years of proven expertise.
I am Nicolas Nervi, born in 1977. From sales on the field to CMO roles in Fortune 500 companies across various industries, and now as a partner in a successful AI company helping businesses, I’ve gained extensive experience throughout my career.
Approaching my 50s, I bring the background and knowledge to offer high-level expertise and legitimacy. With over 30 years in business, I help CEOs and business owners cut operational costs by over 50% using today’s most effective solutions.
In 12 years of activity as a consultant, there is not one single company who hasn't won in efficiency with my services.
You can’t truly grasp an industry without engaging directly with the people in it.
If you're not interested, you can't truly understand.
Truly understand industries by hearing directly from the people shaping them—that’s why Smartalks was launched worldwide.
Behind every success is a human story, and Smartalks goes beyond the typical media narrative to ask the real questions that matter. Since 2016, what began as a Swiss concept has evolved into an international platform, providing an unfiltered look into the journeys, challenges, and insights of today’s industry leaders.

There’s no “magic package”, real progress comes from understanding your unique reality in depth.
Let’s be clear: no pre-packaged consulting solution can save you without a full understanding of your unique situation. Real results begin with grasping the specifics of your reality.
I don’t display standard packages or prices because that wouldn’t be honest. Instead, I start with a conversation. My approach is simple yet effective, following a consistent process that’s adapted to fit your needs every time.

My background
and experiences
Since I was 16, my hands-on experience has been my greatest strength—I understand the real dynamics of operations. I earned a Master’s in Marketing in Switzerland, lectured at a renowned Swiss marketing school for over a decade, and rose from employee to CMO of a Fortune 500 company. Later, I built a successful marketing agency with 20 employees. My need for new perspectives led me to shift focus, becoming a partner in an AI company and consulting for companies to align with today’s realities, where I bring the most value.

My profile
To all companies: prioritise significant investment in this profile over the coming year.
For centuries, businesses focused on employees who knew how to execute, solve problems, and deliver results.
But in the AI-driven world of 2025, the focus has shifted to those who understand what to do to drive success. This shift represents a new era of expertise, where the competitive edge lies not in knowing how to do things but in understanding what to do.
The best decisions stem from a true understanding of the situation.
