Vittorio Colao was born at Brescia in 1961. His recorded nationality is Italy. He was educated at Harvard Business School and Harvard University.
Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.
He worked as manager, entrepreneur and businessperson.
