I’m Federico Malatesta.
I led a $40-billion capital program for an Oil & Gas major.
Today I run FM Transformational Coaching™, where I help senior professionals re-author the next chapter of their lives. It comes with greater rigor, and far less fiction, than the motivational industry sells.
Who this is for
A COO navigating the shock of a merger. A founder facing a silent loss of drive. A parent contemplating a second-act career. Or anyone who senses that the next plateau could last decades if left unchallenged.

COMING THIS FALL
They Are Lying to You
The Self-Help Delusion
The science is wrong. The advice doesn’t work. That’s the business model.
Feedback from Leaders in transitions
“Since our paths crossed over a decade ago, I have been seeking Federico’s counsel whenever I was about to face a tough decision. What I most like about him is his capacity to listen in a non-judgmental way, with a deep empathy and sense of understanding. He has always given me different, fresh perspectives on how to look at things, allowing me the space to identify both my personal priorities and the tradeoffs of every decision. He is a pillar of my professional and personal life.”
