From a small town in Sicily to global influence, Giovanni is one of the most connected people I’ve ever met. We became friends in Dubai, but his journey started with a strong family and incredible mentors in Italy.

That foundation led him to work with the Italian government to host the Olympics, opening doors to key Global leaders. Eventually, Giovanni played a pivotal role in the World Expo, working closely with Emirati Royalty, hosting Heads of State, Presidents, and Dignitaries from nearly 200 countries. Based in Dubai, he continues to consult on global initiatives, setting his sights on future World Expos in Japan and Saudi Arabia.

This episode is packed with wisdom, perspective, and behind-the-scenes stories from one of the most fascinating international connectors out there. Connect with Giovanni on LinkedIn.
