Luca Silipo

Luca has started his career in finance after a post-grad in Geneva. As an economist and then a Chief economist for investment banks he has lived in London, Milan, New York, Paris, and Hong Kong. After fifteen years in the industry, he moved to the real sector. He has created and currently manages the GEODIS World Lab, a multi-disciplinary research department in charge of providing top-down strategic inputs to the board of one of the global largest supply chain corporations. Aside from his long-standing love affair with music – also as an amateur composer and conductor – he has been increasingly interested about social, economic, and environmental sustainability. He has published a book, On Proximity, about the potential of objects to constantly remind to us the importance of society, invested as they are with the social meaning of their production, their use, and their disposal. Luca currently lives in Berlin.
