Today I’m thrilled to introduce someone who inspired me long before I ever got to know him personally—and since then, I’ve come to admire him all the more and that is the one and only Dr. Ernesto Sirolli.

He’s a globally recognized thought leader in entrepreneurship and economic development, with over 40 years of transformative work.

He is The founder of the Sirolli Institute, helping communities worldwide unlock their entrepreneurial potential. A pioneer of the “Enterprise Facilitation” approach, empowering people to follow their passions and build thriving, sustainable ventures.

You may also know him for his amazing TED Talks, one of which is called “Want to help someone? Shut Up and Listen”, which has resonated with millions around the world.

His insights have not only impacted the lives of countless entrepreneurs but have also deeply inspired my own journey. I’m honoured to have him with us today!
