Dr. Guido Sacco is a prolific global entrepreneur. With over 35 years of professional experience, he is a strategic marketing expert who emphasizes having a holistic understanding of each market, business, historical and cultural context for every endeavor. Using his sharp business acumen to compare the rules of each market to that of a game of bridge or chess is, in the words of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, “impossible to play if you don’t know the rules, but when you know them is possible to play and use sharp strategies to win the market shares,” he has demonstrated himself a master of respecting and using the rules of each market to win, and demonstrated ingenious application of strategy in entrepreneurship. His credo is: Identification of the opportunity, fast reaction, fast application of the rules, global strategy, never limit the action, the only limit is our brain, the objective is proportional to the investment.
 
Dr. Sacco’s expansive ventures see him as the President and CEO of Creaco Holding Dubai, an innovative holdings and management company that seeks to vertically integrate companies across the world, thus avoiding intermediaries and promoting ethics in each company of the group.

The completion of this project will see his Egyptian branch growing to a comparable value to his Swiss location. Additionally, BESTIMMO’s Dubai office projects annual sales of over $200 million each year. Dr. Sacco credits the success of his many BESTIMMO branches to hiring the top managers and executive staff to ensure each of its branches provides the ultimate in client experience and service, understanding that “delegation with control is the basic of success.”
