Third Wind Consulting takes its name from a runner\'s experience: the first wind gets you started, the second wind pushes you through the wall, and the third wind — the rarest — is when everything clicks and growth feels effortless. We help businesses find their third wind.
Founded in 2018 in Crevalcore, a quiet town between Bologna and Modena — in the heart of Emilia-Romagna, Italy\'s most productive region. This is the land of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and Prosciutto di Parma. Excellence is in the local DNA.
Our team of 4 senior consultants brings experience from BCG, Accenture, and founder-led companies. We work exclusively with growth-stage businesses — companies between €1M and €50M that have found product-market fit and need help scaling without losing what made them special.
90+ engagements. 12+ countries served. Based in Emilia-Romagna — where operational excellence is a way of life.
Walk alongside, not ahead.
We are not the hero of your story — you are. Our role is to walk alongside you, ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, and help you see what you cannot see from inside the business.
Simplicity is strategy.
Good strategy fits on one page. If your strategic plan is 100 pages, it is not a strategy — it is a wish list. We ruthlessly prioritize so your team knows exactly what matters.
Emilia-Romagna DNA.
Based in the region that produces Ferrari, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and some of Italy's most successful mid-size companies. Operational excellence is not something we teach — it is where we come from.
