Managing Partner Michael Wildes is pleased to announce that Wildes & Weinberg P.C. has secured an approved EB-1 petition on behalf of Mr. Fausto Armonti, an internationally renowned Product & Brand Innovation Advisor/Specialist.
The EB-1 is critical key step in an application for permanent residence.
In an illustrious career spanning more than 30 years, Mr. Armonti has established himself as an individual of extraordinary ability as a Product & Brand Innovation Advisor/Specialist, with a specialization, most recently in the food industry. By virtue of his accomplishments has risen to the very top of his field of endeavor and possesses a level of expertise which personifies that he is one of the small percentage of Product & Brand Innovation Advisor/Specialists in the world.
Mr. Armonti’s career in branding and product development is one defined by many “firsts,” and his innate talent began to manifest itself in the early 1980s. Mr. Armonti experienced one of his first achievements in branding as a musician, when he began promoting several music performers, including his own band, Studio Hertz, as well as famous Italian singer, Ornella Vanoni who performed with internationally recognized artists such as George Benson, Michael Brecker, Gil Evans, Gerry Mulligan, and Herbie Hancock.
Since the 1990s, Mr. Armonti has served in leading and critical roles with various distinguished organizations in Italy and abroad, primarily focused on companies’ internationalization, branding and product development processes. He invented and managed new branding models and products to achieve transversal strategic alliances in different industries including music, entertainment, media, tradeshows, food and beverage, luxury goods, and industrial design. Mr. Armonti’s original approach to his work is revered for its ingenuity and effectiveness and he has successfully applied it to identify holes in the market and to launch new products and brands to fill these gaps. Mr. Armonti’s innovative work is based on his perspective that “in every market there is a hole, but not in every hole is there a market.” He has played a leading and critical role for his distinguished organizations and achieved positive brand recognition and financial results for them. It has been our Firm’s honor to work with and represent Mr. Armonti.
