Carlo De Benedetti

Italian businessman

In the history of enterprise, Carlo De Benedetti is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Carlo De Benedetti as Italian businessman.

Carlo De Benedetti was born at Turin in 1934. His recorded nationality is Switzerland. He was educated at Polytechnic University of Turin.

Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.

He worked as entrepreneur, businessperson and financier.

Business reputations are unusually sensitive to the decade in which they were made.

Recognition followed: Order of Merit for Labour, Gold Medal of the Italian Order of Merit for Culture and Art, Officer of the Legion of Honour and Commander of the Legion of Honour.

That the business was built from Switzerland shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
