Biography 
He graduated firstly in Aerospace Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Milan and subsequently from the Executive Program in Finance at INSEAD, Fontainebleau.
From 1972 to 1973 he was a CNR researcher at the Polytechnic University of Milan. He subsequently worked until 1978 as Executive Vice President of the Transportation Planning Division at Polytecna Harris, an Italian-American engineering company.[1]

From 1979 to 1992, he was a director of McKinsey & Company and a member of the Principal Candidate Evaluation Committee, that elected new partners worldwide.[2]

In 1993, he founded Value Partners, a global management consulting firm with offices in 5 countries: Milan (headquarters), London, San Paolo, Buenos Aires, Istanbul, Singapore, Shanghai and Hong Kong.

In 2000, he established Value Team, a system integrator specializing in business-critical IT services. In April 2011, Value Team was transferred to NTT DATA.

In the early 2000s, he acquired La Raia estate - carrying out the conversion to organic and biodynamic cultivation of vineyards and fields that led to Demeter certification in 2007. The Raia is home to a Waldorf-Steiner-oriented school created by his eldest daughter Caterina, and in 2017 he opened Locanda La Raia, a 12-room relais, and the Borgo, designed to host events. Subsequently, in 2015 he bought Tenuta Cucco, in the Langhe, an organic estate where Barolo is produced. Both estates, for the agricultural part, are managed by his second son, Piero. 

In 2013, he created, together with Irene Crocco, and presides over, Fondazione La Raia for the promotion of a critical look at the landscape, through the activity of international artists invited to realise works and projects within La Raia. To date, eleven works are visible to the public and numerous conferences have been organised, dedicated to the theme of landscape.
