FUTURE BELONGS TO EVERYONE
Paolo Barletta is a serial entrepreneur, investor and impact philanthropist. In the last decade he has successfully established a number of businesses in technology, real estate, luxury hospitality, fashion and cinema. His international background is the reason for an eclectic and innovative entrepreneurial vision as CEO of his own company, Gruppo Barletta, a leading Italian real estate family business. Prior to taking over the management of the company, Paolo was the youngest-ever assistant to the CEO of FaceOff and managed a significant amount of financial operations; for these reasons he was selected for starting Anthilia Capital Partners SGR, a new financial boutique in the market. He envisioned a full corporate reorganization of his family business in 2010 starting by him becoming Chief Advisor to Finance & Development and, later on, Chief Executive Officer of the Group holding. Paolo has run the company over the toughest times in the Real Estate market and he successfully grew it by 25% per year, going his staff from 48 to 250 employees.
Being a pioneer in change, he redesigned the corporate strategy by using new languages, strategic partnerships and by constantly enriching the Group portfolio through complementary investments, mergers and acquisitions. In 2014, Paolo created Myllennium Award in the name and memory of his father Raffaele: it is the one and only multidisciplinary award dedicated to “under-30 young talents” that represent the future leading working class of Italy.
In 2018, he established his own investment company Alchimia Spa, being acknowledged as one of the few Italian funds able to operate with some of the most strategic and innovative companies in the world. Last but not least, Paolo, is the leading donor of Kukua, the award-winning social enterprise that fights children illiteracy in Sub Saharan Africa.
