Ian McGarrigle
Chairman at World Retail Congress
Dr. Stigliano is one of the most up-to-date professionals I know, combining his extensive knowledge and focus with engaging oratory skills. Once he starts speaking, phones are only used to film what he says, and everyone (including other speakers) remains focused until his talk ends.
Lucia Marcuzzo
MD Europe at Levi Strauss & Co.
As a keynote speaker, Giuseppe demonstrated remarkable expertise and added significant value to the event.
