We open the US market for Italian companies that need to sell, negotiate, and build real local presence.
GP & Partners comes from Gianluca Piazza's path across Italy, London, and the United States: direct experience in distribution, retail, strategic partnerships, market entry, and complex commercial negotiations, now placed at the service of an operating team.
What we bring to the table
An operating team combining business development, negotiation, and field execution, with Gianluca Piazza's entrepreneurial experience as a lever and point of synthesis. We step in when an Italian company has a strong product, but needs to turn it into channels, agreements, local presence, and measurable growth in the United States.
Our work connects strategy with operating reality: market analysis, partner selection, commercial negotiation, distribution model, local team, and the frictions that usually block expansion. The founder's personal experience serves the method, not the other way around.
Where the team has already played the game
Across Miami and the United States, our operating experience includes distribution, retail, and relationships with chains and partners including Starbucks Reserve, Walmart, Publix, Target, Sedano's, Fresh Market, and Niagara Waters. These are not logos in a row: they are contexts where price, margins, logistics, positioning, and trust decide whether a project truly enters the market.
The differentiator
The value is not “knowing America”. It is knowing where product, partner, compliance, distribution, and commercial culture need to lock together. From there we build concrete paths: clear steps, operating priorities, defined responsibility.
How we work
- Clear positioning before approaching buyers, partners, or investors.
- Network used with discipline: the right relationship is worth more than a hundred generic contacts.
- Operating decisions: next step, owner, risk, metric.
- No folklore about Made in Italy: in the US, value, margin, reliability, and speed matter.
