The Future is the Metaverse

LUCA COLOMBO, COUNTRY DIRECTOR AT FACEBOOK ITALY, TALKS WITH RECTOR GIANMARIO VERONA IN THE LATEST EXECUTIVE CHATS EPISODE

“Connecting people is a value”, highlights Luca Colombo, Country Director at Facebook Italy, discussing the company’s business model in a conversation in the Executive Chats series with Rector Gianmario Verona.

Looking at the future, “the metaverse should be the next evolution of online social experiences. Experiences that will offer more immersive and engaging opportunities for people. The metaverse is our vision for the next 5-10 years – now we have to develop the necessary products and services.”

Colombo has also helped Bocconi develop the new ‘CEO Connect - Your Executive Mentor’ program which will see 30 Bocconi MSc students each paired up with 30 top CEOs who will mentor them. “The program is unique, giving students access to unique resources. I want to expand the community of mentors in Italy,” says Colombo.
