Ivan Canovese advises businesses on procurement, cost management and supply-chain risk.
In their LinkedIn posts, they argue that companies need more than reports and dashboards: they need to understand what drives supplier and operating costs, then use that understanding to make timely decisions.
Their examples range from using AI to break down supplier prices to examining overlooked costs such as cleaning services.
They also connect international disruption to practical choices about contracts, energy and supply-chain resilience.
Their work offers grounded explanations of how procurement and cost analysis can support business decisions.
Canovese makes cost management concrete by starting with decisions or cost categories businesses recognize.
In one post, they contrast measuring a cleaning supplier’s hourly rate and invoice with examining service frequency and efficiency.
In another, they show how AI might break supplier prices into materials, logistics, labour and margin, helping distinguish genuine increases from markups.
Their risk posts follow the same approach: identify what a company cannot see—supplier locations, price changes or alternatives—and explain how that limits preventive action.
More data alone, they argue, is not control; information must guide decisions.
Their post about becoming a Senior Partner at ERA Group EMEA shifts from specific cost categories to listening, learning a client’s operation and building trust.
Readers get a steady supply of practical prompts for examining procurement choices.
Ivan Canovese's recurring argument is that companies rarely fail on cost because they lack information; they fail because they analyse it late, focus on the wrong lines or lack direction for the data they already hold.

Across the posts, cost intelligence means turning supplier and cost data into decisions before a problem lands: knowing where suppliers are and how prices move, treating indirect categories as optimisable, and using AI to take a supplier price apart rather than produce more reports. The method they describe is listening-led: ask why something has always been done a certain way before proposing an alternative.
Cost and risk work belongs before the event, not after it
Canovese argues that companies treat cost optimisation as an emergency to handle when there is time, and supply-chain risk as an abstract worry.
Read more
Both fail for the same reason: by the time a problem is visible, the company is managing damage rather than preventing it.
The fix has two parts.
First, put analysis on the calendar, turning a slower operational period into a working window for supplier and cost analysis, with decisions ready before the market or a supplier moves.
Second, build visibility: know where suppliers are, how their prices fluctuate and which competitive alternatives exist.
They say only a minority of companies take a preventive approach, while many remain reactive, and argue that integrated monitoring lets a company see real costs and potential changes.
One post identifies summer, when many sectors slow down, as one of the best times to work on costs: with less operational pressure, there is more room for clear decisions.
While other companies slow down passively, the far-sighted ones have already optimised supplies and analysed costs.
A companion post turns risk into a short visibility checklist—supplier locations, price movements and alternative suppliers—and says the difference between absorbing a shock and anticipating it is having that picture.
The problem is not too little data, but data without direction
Several posts challenge the assumption that more reporting solves cost problems.
Read more
Canovese writes that dashboards, reports and KPIs can look perfect on paper while a company is still navigating by sight: the real question is whether the information guides decisions.
Fragmented data gives only half the story, and a cost that is measured but not controlled remains uncontrolled.
The missing element, they say, is direction: cost intelligence that also takes in marginal cost lines, which can matter more than expected.
A post addressed to manufacturing CFOs lists the pressures Canovese hears about—rising energy costs, inflation, skills shortages and higher customer demands—and acknowledges that reports, spreadsheets and dashboards already exist.
The chaos persists, they argue, because direction is missing.
The post points readers to a report on cost intelligence and invites them to reply in comments or messages.
AI earns its place by taking supplier prices apart
Canovese's most concrete claim about AI in procurement concerns decomposition.
Read more
Applied to procurement, AI can break a supplier's price into raw materials, logistics, labour and margin; separate genuine cost increases from simple markup; and cut analysis time from weeks to minutes. That can move procurement from a tactical function to a value lever for CFOs and CEOs—but only, they insist, when AI is used with judgement rather than as a data tap.
The post lists those three uses in sequence and directs readers to a longer article on procurement moving from a tactical function to a value engine.
There is a tension in this argument: the selling point is faster, partly automated price analysis, while the surrounding posts contend that judgement and direction determine whether data helps at all.
Canovese argues that companies judge a service by its visible unit—an hourly rate or supplier invoice—and miss the variables that determine total cost and quality.
Read more
A mundane category becomes the test case: hygiene and workplace safety are non-negotiable, so the task is not to cut the service but to treat it as an optimisable category, controlling cost, frequency and efficiency. The same logic runs through the CFO material, where marginal cost lines are said to carry more weight than they appear to.
A post on cleaning services asks readers what the service really costs beyond the hourly rate and invoice, and whether they have considered its impact on indirect costs. It frames the category as an opportunity to save and improve service quality, rather than a passive line item.
Geopolitical volatility is a reason to move, not to freeze
Canovese focuses on a specific chokepoint: the 30 km Bab el-Mandeb strait between Yemen and Djibouti, which carries 12% of seaborne oil and more than 20% of international containers.
Read more
They set out what a full closure would do to oil prices and trade between Asia, Europe and Africa.
The conclusion is behavioural rather than fatalistic: companies that respond well are not waiting for stability.
They are more selective, analyse costs more closely, renegotiate contracts before the market moves, reduce supply-chain fragility and secure energy at better prices.
Canovese calls this a change of mindset and warns against using uncertainty as an excuse to slow down.
The post contrasts the cautious assumption that companies will simply become more careful with what Canovese says is actually happening. It ends by advocating energy procurement with the right partner rather than leaving the company at the mercy of the international situation.
The promotion post is chiefly a statement of method.
Read more
Canovese says the move to Senior Partner at ERA Group EMEA followed significant thresholds of projects managed and revenue generated, but argues that the real achievement is trust: a CFO returning for a second project, a procurement director introducing them to another company, or an operations director returning with a new problem. Their working habits are humility, listening before proposing, asking why something has always been done a certain way before suggesting an alternative, and building tailored paths rather than bringing ready-made answers.
The post identifies repeat-relationship signals as the real measure of the work, ahead of title and thresholds. The title is new, it says, but the approach remains the same: listen, learn, contribute.
Answers the first question a newcomer asks about someone who advises on procurement: what position does this person actually hold, and how do they describe their own work?
Read more
Canovese announces a promotion to Senior Partner at ERA Group EMEA, which they say followed thresholds for projects managed and revenue generated.
The brief announcement focuses on method.
They write that the more projects they close, the more they have to learn.
Their useful habit is to listen before proposing, ask why something has always been done a certain way before suggesting an alternative, and build tailored paths rather than deliver ready-made answers.
They measure the result not by the title but by whether a CFO commissions a second project, a procurement director introduces them to a colleague at another company, or an operations director returns with a new problem.
For brands planning a campaign
Useful for a partnership focused on retention and referral stories.
Canovese positions themself as an enterprise-facing adviser whose credibility rests on repeat client relationships, so a partner should not expect a volume-influencer pitch.
The natural content angle is a client-problem narrative rather than a personal-milestone post.
Shows the concrete analytical method behind the cost-advice positioning and points to a longer article that develops the argument.
Read more
The post argues that procurement's problem is not a shortage of data but poor use of it, and that procurement is shifting from a tactical function to a strategic lever for CFOs and CEOs — but only if applied with judgement.
Canovese gives three specific uses of AI in procurement: breaking supplier prices into raw materials, logistics, labour and margin; separating genuine increases from simple markups; and cutting analysis time from weeks to minutes.
The post directs readers to a dedicated article.
For brands planning a campaign
A cost-intelligence or procurement-technology firm gets a ready topic: the creator has already written a short argument that feeds a longer owned asset. A co-created article or report fits more naturally than a standalone social post.
A clear example of how Canovese turns a specific world event into purchasing decisions — the pattern a brand partner would be buying.
Read more
Canovese takes one named chokepoint — the 30 km Bab el-Mandeb strait between Yemen and Djibouti, carrying 12% of seaborne oil and more than 20% of international containers — and describes what a full closure would do to oil prices and trade routes.
Their key claim: the companies they talk to are not frozen; they are more selective.
Those reacting well are analysing costs more strictly, renegotiating contracts before the market moves, reducing supply-chain fragility, and securing energy at better prices rather than waiting for stability.
They frame this as a change of mindset, not stagnation.
For brands planning a campaign
Strong starting point for a supply-chain-risk campaign. The post turns a geopolitical scenario into a short action list — cost analysis, contract timing, energy sourcing — giving a partner room to extend it into a risk-preparedness piece without changing the creator's tone.
Shows who the creator writes for and how they turn a technical offer into a reader-facing problem statement.
Read more
Canovese addresses CFOs in manufacturing directly and lists the pressures they hear about: rising energy costs, inflation, skills shortages and higher customer demands.
Reports, spreadsheets and dashboards still leave chaos, they write, because what is missing is direction — a cost intelligence that considers even marginal cost lines, which they say can matter more than expected.
The post points to a report and invites comments or messages.
For brands planning a campaign
Demonstrates persona-led writing and the use of gated or linked long-form content. A consulting or software partner could co-brand an equivalent report, using Canovese's stated CFO pain points as its foundation.
A short, concrete demonstration of the cost-category analysis the creator is known for, using an everyday line item instead of an abstract framework.
Read more
Canovese picks a mundane cost — the cleaning service — and argues that companies look only at the hourly rate and supplier invoice, missing the variables that separate passively absorbing an indirect cost from controlling cost, frequency and efficiency.
Hygiene and workplace safety are non-negotiable, so the point is not to cut the service but to treat it as an optimisable category.
The post ends with a direct question to CFOs.
For brands planning a campaign
Shows the repeatable format a partner could commission: take one overlooked cost line, name what buyers usually measure, and show what they miss. Useful for a consultancy selling category-by-category cost reviews.
Sets out the creator's core argument that cost analysis should be preventive rather than reactive, framing most of the other material.
Read more
Canovese writes that risk management is not abstract: in complex, fragmented supply chains, a lack of visibility equals vulnerability, and studies indicate only a minority of companies take a preventive approach.
They list what visibility means in practice — knowing where suppliers are, understanding how prices fluctuate, identifying competitive alternatives — and argue that digitalisation and integrated monitoring systems give companies sight of real costs and potential changes.
Reactive cost analysis, they say, leaves the CFO managing damage rather than preventing it.
For brands planning a campaign
Direct support for a visibility or procurement-analytics partnership. The post states the problem a monitoring product solves in the creator's own framing, before naming any product.

Cost intelligence and using data well
Canovese argues that finance and procurement teams do not lack data; they need to use it well.
Read more
In one post, they say fragmented data gives only half the story and ask whether a CFO has real control or is navigating by sight.
In another, they say dashboards, reports and KPIs may look perfect on paper but need direction to guide decisions.
They also link cost intelligence to a strategic overview that includes marginal costs.
Asks diagnostic questions and contrasts the quantity of data with the quality of the decisions it informs.
For brands planning a campaign
A partner can build educational content around cost intelligence: a diagnostic framework, webinar or explainer that turns dashboard data into decisions, and practical examples of fragmented versus complete cost pictures.
Supplier price decomposition and procurement as a value engine
Canovese describes AI in procurement as a way to break supplier prices into raw materials, logistics, labour and margin; distinguish real increases from markups; and cut analysis time from weeks to minutes.
Read more
They frame procurement as moving from a tactical function to a value engine for CFOs and CEOs, provided AI is used with judgement.
For brands planning a campaign
A cost-intelligence partnership can offer a supplier-price decomposition module: content or a session showing how to separate genuine cost drivers from supplier markup and where AI can shorten the analysis cycle.
Canovese treats supply-chain risk as concrete, not abstract.
Read more
One post outlines Bab el-Mandeb as a 30 km strait carrying 12% of maritime oil and more than 20% of international containers, and says a full blockade could push oil to $200 a barrel and disrupt Asia–Europe–Africa trade. They argue that lack of visibility equals vulnerability, and that a minority of companies take a preventive approach while many remain reactive.
Maps risk to a named chokepoint, then urges companies to track supplier locations, price fluctuations and competitive alternatives, and use integrated monitoring and digitalisation to improve visibility.
For brands planning a campaign
A partnership can use scenario-based content on chokepoints, supplier visibility and proactive risk monitoring, with a practical checklist or assessment for procurement teams.
Canovese argues that companies often treat cost optimisation as an emergency to handle when there is time, rather than something to plan.
Read more
One post says summer, when operations slow in many sectors, is one of the best moments to analyse costs: operational pressure is lower and there is more room for clear decisions. Another says cost analysis cannot be reactive because by then the problem has already hit the company.
For brands planning a campaign
A campaign can centre on a cost-optimisation calendar: seasonal planning windows, pre-negotiation analysis and a simple prompt for CFOs to act before market or supplier moves.
Canovese uses cleaning services to show how companies focus on hourly cost and the supplier invoice but miss variables that determine control of frequency, efficiency and total cost.
Read more
They call cleaning an inevitable cost for hygiene and workplace safety, but frame the wider question as an opportunity to save and improve service quality, not just a CFO line item.
For brands planning a campaign
A partner can create practical, category-specific content that unpacks indirect costs in facilities or services and shows how to move from invoice price to total cost control.
Canovese writes directly to manufacturing CFOs under pressure from energy costs, inflation, skills shortages and rising customer demands.
Read more
The posts acknowledge reports, spreadsheets and dashboards, then identify direction—cost intelligence—and a strategic approach that includes marginal costs as what is missing. They invite readers to a report and offer to continue in comments or messages.
Direct address, acknowledgement of operational pressures, a shift from data to direction, and a report or conversation as the next step.
For brands planning a campaign
A content partnership can target finance leaders with short, pressure-aware posts that lead to a deeper report, diagnostic call or gated assessment on cost intelligence.
In a post about becoming Senior Partner at ERA Group - EMEA, Canovese says the recognition followed significant thresholds of projects managed and revenue generated, but argues the real achievement is trust: a CFO returning for a second project, a procurement director making a referral, or an operations director raising a new topic.
Read more
They say the approach is to listen before proposing, ask why something has always been done a certain way, and build tailored paths rather than bring ready-made answers.
For brands planning a campaign
A brand can use interviews, case stories or behind-the-scenes formats to show a listening-first consulting method and the client relationships behind cost programmes, rather than publishing only data-led posts.
Ivan Canovese's posts name one organisation they work with: ERA Group, the consulting firm where they say they were appointed Senior Partner for EMEA and whose cost report they direct readers to.
ERA Group
Employment
Canovese says they were appointed Senior Partner of ERA Group - EMEA after meeting significant thresholds for projects managed and revenue generated.

They thank the ERA Group team for the tools to do the work.
A separate post for manufacturing CFOs points readers to an ERA Group report on cost intelligence.
If the delivery model matters, ask whether their client work is delivered through the firm.
Ivan Canovese's posts are worth following if you work on the buying side of a business and want to reframe the cost question: away from "how much did we save" and toward "where did the saving go, and when did we look".
Read more
Start with the two posts that set up the argument: one about dashboards, reports and KPIs that look perfect on paper while the company is still navigating by sight, and the manufacturing-CFO post that names cost intelligence as the missing direction.
Then read the procurement and AI post, which offers the most concrete method here: taking a supplier's price apart into raw materials, logistics, labour and margin, separating real cost increases from simple markup, and cutting analysis time from weeks to minutes.
The supply-chain risk posts offer another entry point, with a checklist rather than a warning: know where suppliers are, how their prices move and which alternatives exist, and analyse costs before a problem lands rather than after.
The cleaning-services post and the summer-timing post apply the same habit to small, everyday categories.
The Senior Partner post is the most personal, describing a listening-first method of asking why something has always been done a certain way before proposing an alternative.

Guido Aru
Closest match in subject and format.
Read more
Aru writes short LinkedIn posts on the same problem space Canovese works in: procurement savings reported to the board fail to appear in the accounts.
One post follows a 10% saving from the procurement slide to the CFO's question about where it shows up in EBITDA, working capital and cash flow; another asks why the approved purchasing budget never survives to December, blaming fragmented purchasing systems and the absence of an aggregated spend view by supplier.
Both writers end a short argument with a direct question to the reader.
Aru locates the failure at the reporting end: the saving has been claimed but cannot be traced in the numbers.
The posts anchor the argument to a named event and a linked report, with hashtags on each post.
Canovese works a step earlier in the chain, decomposing the supplier price and building visibility before a problem lands, with more attention to risk and timing than to boardroom reconciliation.
Shares Canovese's teaching habit rather than the subject.

Salimbene's post on optical businesses argues that campaigns, promotions, CRM and AI all fail when run as separate containers with no connecting structure, and that the value is lost to a missing thread rather than a lack of ideas.
Canovese makes a similar point: dashboards and reports are not the problem if the data has no direction.
Both write in Italian, favor concrete operational detail over general claims, and reason from observations about how a business actually behaves.
Salimbene writes for optical retail and marketing.
In the second post, they strip the adjectives from a product announcement to get at what the numbers mean for a working week; the recommendation is to connect and simplify what already exists before adding tools.
Canovese focuses on procurement and cost for finance leaders, with similar advice centered on visibility into suppliers and prices.
Publishes long-form LinkedIn arguments that take a familiar business assumption and show why it no longer holds.

Sciabarrà's post on handing the CEO role to a co-founder explains in operational detail why the technical side of an AI product cannot be run from the sofa in the evening.
The second post argues against the view that AI is a passing fashion, using the phone replacing a music player, camera and television as its analogy.
Canovese takes the same approach — reasoning from specific consequences, not slogans — to cost and risk.
Sciabarrà writes from inside a software company about product and engineering leadership and AI as a general shift in what is possible. Canovese writes as an adviser about procurement, supplier prices and supply-chain exposure, tying the claims to what a finance or procurement team can act on next quarter.
Ivan Canovese's posts offer no sponsorship or paid-partnership format.
Read more
They read as practitioner commentary on procurement, cost management and supply-chain risk, while the promotional elements point to his organisation's own content: a cost-intelligence report offered to manufacturing CFOs and an article on how AI is changing procurement.
Canovese describes himself as Senior Partner for EMEA at ERA Group, a consulting firm, positioning his publishing within a consultancy practice rather than a creator sponsor programme.
For a brand seeking a content partnership on cost intelligence and supply-chain risk, the likely fit is commissioned or co-authored advisory material, not a packaged sponsorship slot.
Ask directly about availability, terms, deliverables and pricing; the posts provide no rate card, media kit, sponsorship policy or published sponsorship example.
Best fit: a procurement consulting firm or cost-intelligence platform commissioning advisory content on cost intelligence and supply-chain risk.
Read more
Canovese already publishes the kind of material a partner would pay for: a named cost problem, an explanation of why the usual measurement misses it, and a practical next step.
Examples include supplier price decomposition into raw materials, logistics, labour and margin; separating real increases from supplier markup; Bab el-Mandeb as a 30 km chokepoint carrying 12% of seaborne oil and over 20% of international containers; manufacturing CFO pressures such as energy costs, inflation and skills shortages; and cleaning services as an indirect-cost case where buyers see the hourly rate and invoice but miss frequency, efficiency and total cost.
The commercial shape is commissioned or co-authored advisory material, not a packaged sponsorship slot.
The fit is stronger for a partner that wants analytical credibility with finance and procurement leaders than for one buying reach.
Constraints: the LinkedIn profile snapshot recorded 3,801 followers on October 9, 2026; no audience demographics are available; no rate card, media kit or documented sponsorship format appears in the posts here; and the linked article and report are not available here.
When to choose a specialist
Poor fit: a mass-market consumer campaign, a broad lifestyle sponsorship, or a campaign that depends on demonstrated sponsored-post performance and large consumer reach.
Read more
The posts focus on B2B procurement, finance and supply-chain commentary, with no consumer, fashion, travel, entertainment or general lifestyle content.
Promotional references point to Canovese's own organisation's report and article, not third-party brand work.
A campaign requiring rapid viral video, high-volume posting or demographic targeting of consumers cannot be assessed from the available posts and should not be pitched as a sponsorship slot.
Follower count alone does not establish consumer reach.
If audience composition or prior brand-partnership performance is central to the campaign, ask for that information before committing spend.
A worked campaign example
Worked campaign angle: “The Cost You Are Not Measuring.”
Partner: a procurement consultancy selling cost-intelligence diagnostics.
Audience: CFOs, procurement directors and operations leaders in European manufacturing.
Objective: generate qualified diagnostic conversations, not top-of-funnel reach.
Format: one co-authored long-form explainer or report section, supported by three LinkedIn posts and a downloadable diagnostic checklist.
Angle: pick one overlooked cost line per post, state what buyers normally measure, then show what they miss.
Example sequence: Post 1 uses cleaning services to contrast hourly rate and supplier invoice with frequency, efficiency and total cost.
Post 2 uses Bab el-Mandeb to turn a geopolitical chokepoint into three procurement decisions — analyse costs, renegotiate contracts before the market moves, and secure energy alternatives.
Post 3 addresses manufacturing CFOs with a short diagnostic: if dashboards look complete but decisions stall, the missing element is direction, not more data.
The long-form piece links supplier price decomposition — raw materials, logistics, labour, margin — to a diagnostic framework.
Call to action: request a cost-intelligence review or download the checklist.
Measurement: checklist downloads, qualified calls booked, and use of the framework in sales conversations.
Why this fits: it matches the analytical method Canovese already publishes and the buyer group addressed in the manufacturing CFO post.
It does not require an undocumented sponsorship format.
The linked report and article are unavailable here; ask for them before deciding whether to build the commissioned asset from scratch or adapt existing material.
Pick Guido Aru when the partner's real problem is the gap between procurement and finance rather than supply-chain disruption.
Read more
The two posts work through exactly that moment: a procurement function presents a 10% saving to the board, the CFO asks where the number shows up in the accounts, and the answer is vague — because one side measures discount against a previous list price while the other measures margin, cash and payment days.
Aru also frames the follow-on question that matters to a budget committee: reconstruct spending by supplier instead of by cost centre, and the same product bought at different terms by different departments, overlapping contracts and one supplier listed under three commercial names start to appear.
If the campaign's decision moment is a CFO questioning a procurement slide, this is closer to that moment than Canovese's wider cost-intelligence framing.
Narrower than Canovese.
Their posts focus on savings measurement and spend visibility, not supply-chain disruption, chokepoints, energy sourcing or indirect-cost cases.
Both end with a question to the reader and point to an outside resource; ask for the full argument behind each figure.
The two posts date from July and August 2026, and one references a finance forum without showing what was said there; ask for more context on the forum reference.
Choose Michele Sciabarrà when the campaign is about AI capability, software product decisions or a founder-led technical story — for instance, a platform selling developer tooling or AI products that wants a first-person account of running a company.
Read more
The posts show that directly: sharing the chief executive role with a co-founder and taking the CTO title to stay close to the product, and an argument that AI-written software and AI-assisted work change what programmers are for. For a partner running a campaign about how AI changes a technology organisation, this is a more specific match than a cost-focused creator.
Not interchangeable for a campaign about cost intelligence.
The posts do not cover procurement, supplier costs or supply-chain risk, and the readership they address is people following AI and software development rather than manufacturing finance leaders.
The two posts date from February and August 2026.
Neither carries a commercial or partner format that could be reused in a campaign; ask for a sample of that format before booking.
Choosing Sciabarrà means changing the campaign subject, not just the name on the byline.
Choose Alessandra Salimbene when the buyer is a small-business or retail operator rather than a manufacturer's finance chief — in optical retail and comparable owner-managed sectors — or when the campaign is about getting AI and digital tools actually used inside a business that has little marketing structure.
Read more
The posts diagnose why separate campaigns, CRM, social and AI initiatives fade out one after another, and ask how much of a working week is structured clearly enough to hand to a model that works unattended for 40 minutes. That last question is a practical test a partner could build content around for small-business audiences.
A different buyer entirely.
The posts are set in optical retail and small-business marketing; they do not touch procurement, cost categories or supply chains, so they cannot carry the same cost-intelligence campaign.
One post is built around a named product collection and brand, the other around a single AI launch.
The dates are February and September 2026.
A partner wanting manufacturing finance leaders would be buying the wrong audience.
Ivan Canovese's eight LinkedIn posts cover cost intelligence, procurement and supplier pricing, supply-chain risk and visibility, indirect service costs, AI in procurement, and a promotion announcement at ERA Group EMEA.
The posts show 3,801 followers, observed 9 October 2026; they do not show post-level dates, so the posts cannot be ordered in time and no claim is made about how the themes developed.
Two posts link to a longer article and a report; their contents are not described here.
No rate card, media kit, documented sponsorship format or audience demographics appear in these posts.
Comparisons with three other creators are based on six further posts.
The posts identify roles and employers, but those details have not been independently verified; the posts do not establish signature books, shows or earlier work.
