Oscar Di Montigny

Wise Manager and Popularizer

‘At a certain point my heart whispered: stop, give thanks, give back, die and be reborn’. This is the starting point for the journey of an eclectic visionary, who likes to define himself as a simple human being in search of truth, once he realises that one can no longer live and act without the awareness of having to produce a positive impact on the community and the planet. 
Milanese, born in 1969, Oscar di Montigny is an entrepreneur and angel investor, one of the world's leading experts on megatrends. He is also the president and founder of the Grateful Foundation - a third-sector organisation that pursues popular aims centred on the value of gratitude - and founder and managing partner of I-Deagate, the first ‘humanovability hub’ that supports companies in making a positive impact on the community and the planet. Creator of the ‘Spherical Economy®’ principle and of a systemic model for development called ‘Humanovability®’, he promotes and disseminates this approach through an integrated path of scientific research activities, publishing initiatives, public events and advocacy activities with corporations and industrial groups. As well as an essayist, he is a populariser and keynote speaker, and brings important topics such as innovation, sustainability, marketing and communication, corporate education and positive impact to the stages of major international events and organisations, corporations and large companies. He counts on collaborations with the Italian and international academic world for research activities, lectio magistralis and seminars, as mentor and tutor; he contributes to developing, growing and evolving projects and start-ups that aim to generate a positive impact on the economy, society and the environment. He is also an ambassador for Oxfam Italia, an organisation that fights poverty in the world.
