  • About

    Simon Luo Wei

    Born and raised in China, the founder embarked on a transformative journey at the age of 17 when he moved to Italy. His academic and professional pursuits have since spanned multiple countries, including China, Italy, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, where he has cultivated a deep understanding of both Eastern and Western business and cultural landscapes.

    ​

    His career began in the Italian fashion industry, collaborating with global high-end fashion brands and renowned luxury names, assuming key roles in supply chain management, production, and corporate social responsibility. This initial exposure to the intricacies of global business laid the foundation for his subsequent transition to a leading publicly listed company in the engineering, chemical technology, and energy sectors.

     

    He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Management from Bocconi University, Milan, where he also received systematic and rigorous training in arts, philosophy, cultural studies, and anthropology, guided by distinguished scholars. He further specialised in Economics and International Policies at the University of Lugano, Switzerland, and in Public Policy and Human Development at UNU-MERIT, the United Nations University's Maastricht Economic and Social Research Institute on Innovation and Technology in the Netherlands. His intellectual curiosity also led him to pursue research-level studies in philosophy and theology at the master's level at the Universität Luzern in Switzerland, where he explored the insightful connections between religion, philosophy, and modern socio-political and economic structures.

    Who we are

     

    Global Engagement and Professional Expertise

     

    The team’s extensive global exposure includes participation in leading international events and conferences. To highlight just a few examples, their involvement at STEP in Dubai, the Middle East’s foremost technology and innovation summit, where venture capitalists and entrepreneurs from the MENA region converge is noteworthy. They have also participated in discussions on the future of education at ETH Zurich, where insights were shared by the founder of the Minerva Project, and attended The European Fine Art Fair, an internationally recognised event showcasing world-class art and design. Additionally, their visits to international organisations in Geneva, such as the United Nations, WTO, and the WHO, have provided them with unique perspectives on global governance, including first-hand insights from seminars during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Specialised Experience in Culture and Finance

     

    The team’s linguistic and cultural expertise has been cultivated over a decade of work in mediation, with contributions across corporate and public sectors since 2012. Certified as a court translator for Chinese and Italian at the Chamber of Commerce and Court of Justice of Milan, they bring a wealth of experience in cross-cultural communication. Their financial acumen is equally robust, having earned the Foundations of Financial Risk certification from GARP, some members hold Master’s degrees in Finance from top business schools and possess extensive experience in M&A and Corporate Finance. Their diverse professional background also extends to the cultural and creative sectors, including engagements with professionals in production management for performing arts at world-renowned venues such as Teatro alla Scala.

    Diverse Industry Networks and Cutting-Edge Innovation

     

    Members of the team have established strong networks across a range of industries. Their experience spans engineering, technology, and energy sectors, including roles in major projects with multinational companies such as Sinopec, focusing on large-scale construction and project management initiatives. The team’s connections in the medical field encompass clinical trials, drug development, and Good Clinical Practice standards, particularly through contract research organisations in Europe and China. They also maintain ties with emerging sectors like blockchain and Web3.
