Francesco di Castri

Who I am

My professional career began in the Army and continued in security for complex organisations and projects, including Expo Milano 2015, Arexpo/MIND and Milano Cortina 2026.

These were very different settings, in which I worked with institutions, organisers, professionals and operational teams. They taught me the value of preparation, clear responsibilities and collaboration with people whose expertise differs from my own.

What I do

Through Strathego, I help organisations address challenges in risk management, coordinated protection, and crisis preparedness and management.

An engagement may address a specific issue or develop into a broader project. I also deliver training independently or alongside consulting.

The starting point is always what the client actually needs.

How I work

I begin by listening and understanding the context. I check the information available, distinguish facts from assumptions, identify priorities and propose practical options, explaining their rationale and consequences.

The work leads to clear guidance and concise documents, designed to be used rather than simply filed away.

We agree the objectives, activities and terms of the engagement. When additional specialist expertise is needed, I recommend involving it.

My role is to help the client make better-informed decisions. The decision remains theirs; I am accountable for the analysis and activities entrusted to me.
