I'm Francesco Li Santi, founder of FLS Project Management. For more than 14 years I've led complex IT programs across Europe — for global companies like Samsung, Volkswagen, and Schwarz Group, and for scaling tech companies like DeepOpinion and Verve. I'm certified in PSM II, PSPO II, PAL-EBM, PRINCE2, ITIL, and PMI, and I work fluently in English, German, Italian, and Russian.
My focus is narrow by design: I take over programs that are too important to fail — AI and SaaS launches, post-merger integrations, Agile turnarounds — and I deliver them. Then I hand over something that lasts.

About
The highest standards of professionalism and business ethics at the service of my clients.
Companies don't call an interim program leader when things are going well. They call when:
- A critical program is slipping. Milestones keep moving, governance is unclear, and stakeholders have stopped trusting the plan. I take ownership, rebuild the delivery structure, and get the program back on a credible path — typically within the first 30 days.
- An acquisition needs to become one company. Merged entities, duplicate tech stacks, teams working in parallel worlds. I lead the integration end to end: migration strategy, cutover management, change management — and the license savings that come with consolidation.
- An AI or SaaS product has to reach the market. I've delivered AI programs since 2018 — from Samsung's Bixby speech AI to enterprise agentic automation — launching products to millions of users on time and to quality.
