Daniele Di Fausto

As CEO of eFM, he led the company’s internationalisation process, opening it up to the European, US and Latin American markets. Considered one of Italy’s most authoritative voices on digital innovation, spatial regeneration and development of territories and small towns through distributed hub models, he has been featured in Fortune Italia, Forbes, Harvard Business Review and Il Sole 24 Ore. His degree in the Advanced Management Programme at the IESE Business School in Barcelona – ranked number 1 in the world by the Financial Times – and his collaboration with some of the leading international innovators, such as Tal Ben-Shahar, Jeffrey Pfeffer and Sandra Mitchell, led him to establish Venture Thinking, a philosophy- culture- and social impact-based idea accelerator. In his creator role of the HUBQUARTER model, he has contributed to defining new strategic lines related to the relationship between people and space, both locally — through collaboration with large and small municipalities —nationally and globally — for example, with the Italian and European Parliaments. A lover of poetry and literature, he has recently engaged in dialogue on the concept of genius loci and the educational function of spaces with cultural and cinematic figures such as Michelangelo Pistoletto, Daniele Luchetti, Pierfrancesco Diliberto and Cristiano Travaglioli.
