Last week was my first time attending the Alumni Summer Gala 2026 by POLIMI Graduate School of Management. It was a wonderful evening dedicated to celebrating some of the many people from the Polimi Network that continue to innovate and bring meaningful impact to the community. Palazzo Castiglione and Palazzo Bovara provided a captivating background to very interesting conversations, new networking connections and of course classmate reunions. What I found most rewarding from the evening were some of the personal reflections by two of the entrepreneurial guest speakers, Danila De Stefano, CEO of Unobravo, and Elena Lavezzi, from Uber, Circle and Revolut. I really appreciated their insights, their stories of entrepreneurship and growth. The origins of the idea combined with the will to transform a concept into something concrete and impactful. I take away with me some of that spark that ignites the passion to imagine, develop a concept and innovative to contribute meaningfully to society. Who knows, maybe even a new business venture. A shoutout to my brilliant classmates, always a pleasure to catch up in person.
