FEW SEATS LEFT | Seminar HRWG, 21.10, Shanghai

Why participate?

Passionate about China, its culture, language and society, Gianvito turned this passion into a professional path by living and working in China since 2010 where he has been serving in cross-cultural roles focusing on business development, sales and customer relationship management. In Talent Fishers China he focuses on developing and nurturing strategic partnerships with both local and foreign clients and industry players in several sectors including fashion, luxury, beauty F&B and industrial sectors. Before joining Talent Fishers, Gianvito developed a solid consulting experience in branding and retail activation for symbol-intensive brands: he worked for 8 years as managing partner of Creative Capital, a China-based international branding agency. Following the agency acquisition by the Altavia group - the world's first independent global communication group dedicated to retail and brands - in January 2019, he led the business development activities of the group in China. Thanks to his international educational background and professional experiences, he developed a strong ability to navigate the complexities of cultural nuances and an in-depth understanding of the main strategic challenges and trends in the Chinese fashion & luxury, beauty, and F&B at the demand, product, retail, and communication levels. This leads him to sharply identify how these challenges and trends turn into profiles of managerial and professional competencies necessary to work in China and maintain a competitive edge. Gianvito's fluency in multiple languages - including Italian, Chinese, English, French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese - combined with his understanding of different cultures, enables him to serve a diverse clientele across international markets, ensuring effective communication and tailored solutions.

Meet Marco, a veteran of both the deep sea and the boardroom. After serving as a Navy Diver Officer, he spent a decade in the automotive industry's corporate headquarters before founding a facial recognition company and co-founding Language Confidence, an AI platform for English language assessment.

While his professional focus is on tech and digital innovation—teaching as a professor of Business Research and Digital Innovation at SHU and UWE—his true passion lies in academia and beekeeping. He shares his 20+ years of apicultural experience by teaching Ethical Beekeeping at NYU and running Urban Bees Shanghai, an educational apiary. Through this initiative, he provides outreach to schools and companies, demystifying bees and highlighting their importance to our ecosystem.
