Fabio was born in the southern part of Italy, close to Naples.

He studied business economics in Rome attending two semesters abroad in universities in UK and Spain. After graduating he moved to Miami (USA) where he worked for 6 months in the economic section of the Italian Consulate.

Back in Europe, he joined a management consulting. For the past 3 and half years he has been working on consulting projects for both private companies and government agencies.

Besides his career Fabio has been involved in social-related activities since his childhood, first with a catholic organization, then with Amnesty International, where he was responsible for handling several international appeal and organizing fund raising campaigns.

Languages awareness and knowledge have helped to overcome cultural barriers. Speaking Italian, Spanish and some French he is now struggling to learn Chinese.

Curious, anxious to learn about life and live through various experiences, he has a strong passion to know what is around the bend and hopes to have a beneficial impact on the society. The bend is now the People’s Republic of China, one of the most ancient civilization in the world with its current controversial and bizarre fast change.

During his private time, Fabio enjoys spending time with friends, meeting new people, traveling (with or without his motorbike), kayaking, listening to music, reading and in general taking part in cultural and social activities.

Her doctorate is built upon the social and economic transformation of China, and her focus is to develop a “finance-in-society” model, of which finance is directed at providing for social needs.

For the last 22 years, Junie’s career has given her the opportunity to live and work in many different countries, including the developed and emerging worlds. This experience has enabled her to obtain deep understanding of cultural issues. She is also the founder of Catalyst Foundation, a UK non-profit making organization. While Catalyst Foundation provides the disadvantaged women with commercial orders, finance and markets, it also empowers the women through the process of “self-emancipation”. Through this process, the women will ultimately regain their long lost identities.
