, by Andrea Celauro
The series of interviews with top managers conducted by Bocconi Rector Gianmario Verona also lands on audio platforms. The first three episodes, already online, are dedicated to the future of higher education

Executive Chats is also now a podcast channel: the series starring Rector Gianmario Verona, who in each episode interviews a different top executive in private companies or public institutions, is now also available in audio format only (here you can find the playlist on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify and Spreaker). The new podcast series thus joins Clarity in a Messy World, the series devoted to research, and Story Scanner, which delves into the subjects covered by the University's official magazine ViaSarfatti25.

The series makes its debut in audio format with three episodes dedicated to the future of higher education, featuring three protagonists of the sector: Anant Agarwal, founder and CEO of edX, Jeff Maggioncalda, CEO of Coursera, and Cristina Messa, Minister of University and Research in the Draghi government.

Executive Chats were born as video interviews on the Bocconi Youtube channel and over three years it has produced 38 episodes with the participation of top executives from various sectors. These have included Bocconi alumni such as Vittorio Colao, Minister for Technological Innovation in the Draghi government, Francesca Bellettini, President and CEO of Saint Laurent, Silvia Candiani, Country Manager of Microsoft Italy, Emma Marcegaglia, President and CEO of the Marcegaglia Group, Corrado Passera, Founder and CEO of Illimity, Diego Piacentini, Advisor and President of Exor Seeds, Alessandro Profumo, CEO of Leonardo, and other international protagonists, such as Saeed Amidi, CEO of Plug and Play, Allen Blue, Co-Founder and VP Product Management of Linkedin, the OECD Chief Economist Laurence Boone, and Bill McDermott, CEO of ServiceNow.
