Diego Piacentini, Board member and advisor, former Commissioner for Digital Transformation Italian Government, former SVP of International Consumer Business Amazon, and Bocconi Alumnus of the Year 2010, is the next guest of the new Coffee Chats series, a FT Talent and Bocconi initiative. Six meetings, informal chats, with Bocconi professors and alumni, who are leading managers and entrepreneurs, who, with advice and personal insights, are an inspiration for young talents.
In this interview with Virginia Stagni, Business Development Manager at Financial Times & FT Talent Director, Piacentini talks about the advice he would give to his younger self, how to build resilience, the importance of diversity and the future of news and media organisations.
FT Talent teamed up with Bocconi in 2019 to organize the global competition FTxBocconi Challenge. The second edition last February saw 150 talents from all around the world compete online with ideas on reshaping the business world leveraging on human capital, sustainability, diversity and inclusion. Diego Piacentini was among the guest speakers of the event.
