Michael ArenaGUEST
And, you know, whenever the prediction markets came in and the pundits started to predict, and there were even A model-- AI models that tried to predict who the new pope was, he never showed up in the top twenty, thirty list of any of the models, any of the prediction markets, anything.
Michael ArenaGUEST
One group got it and nailed it, and that was a, a group of network scientists at Bocconi University in Italy.
Michael ArenaGUEST
They looked at who Robert Prevost was connecting with on a day-to-day basis, who he had established trust with, who were the cardinals that were going to him, and what the cardinals were saying about him.
Michael ArenaGUEST
And it turns out that became the number one predictor, and they predicted him as the most likely cardinal to be pope, um, above everybody else.
Salvo FilettiGUEST
Ehm, quindi siamo allenati ad avere tutto e subito, ma la qualità Le performance, eh, non possono arrivare tutte e subito.
Salvo FilettiGUEST
Hanno bisogno di studio, di ricerca, hanno bisogno di mani allenate e io mi emoziono quando vedo una persona-- guarda, sono stato ad un concerto d-di ragazzi di-del conservatorio la settimana scorsa perché ho fatto un intervento al Festival del Management, perché il, il caso Compagnia della Bellezza, mmm eh, il, questo festival organizzato dalla Bocconi in Italia con tutti, con, con, con tanti esperti, quindi sono stato invitato.
Salvo FilettiGUEST
E a un certo punto, la sera prima che io parlassi, c'è stato un concerto, eh, fatto dai ragazzi del, del conservatorio.
Salvo FilettiGUEST
Ragazzi che avevano da 18 a 22 anni, 23 anni, ed era bellissimo vederli, ehm, connessi con se stessi.
Salvo FilettiGUEST
And I get emotional when I see someone...
Salvo FilettiGUEST
Look, I was at a concert with students from the conservatory last week, because I gave a talk at the management festival because of the case study of Compagnia della Bellezza, this festival organized by Bocconi in Italy, with everyone, with many experts, so I was invited.
Salvo FilettiGUEST
And at one point of the evening before I spoke, there was a concert performed by the conservatory students, kids who were 18 to 22, 23 years old, and it was beautiful to see them connected with themselves.
Salvo FilettiGUEST
The gesture they were making, when you see a kid making this gesture, it's all there.
Andrea BaronchelliGUEST
and it's something important you mentioned creativity but also problem solving right I mean telling someone or a kid right hey as they grow up I mean try to solve the problem yourself right yeah just instead of giving the solution
Magnus GrimelandHOST
yeah yeah very true and then you went to Bocconi right for university and Bocconi is you know for people who don't know it's top university in Italy one of the top universities in Europe and I had the pleasure of working with a lot of great founders from Bocconi because we had the number in Celora and Tito and Michele who were kind of building Celora over there.
Magnus GrimelandHOST
Was there a big entrepreneurial ecosystem there? Because at least from my experience, I met a lot of people coming here to Asia from Bocconi who later went on to build great
Andrea BaronchelliGUEST
companies.
Andrea BaronchelliGUEST
I don't...
Andrea BaronchelliGUEST
Back then it was, I would say, before 2011 in Europe, right? So Bocconi, definitely a great university.
Andrea BaronchelliGUEST
I learned so much.
Andrea BaronchelliGUEST
Huge talent density, right? Because you have a lot of people in Italy, then they move there when they study.
Giulia PolettiGUEST
The amount of deals and the amount of trades that happen in the London market are far, uh, superior than any other place in Europe.
Giulia CanestrelliHOST
[upbeat music] The voices of two Bocconi alumni at different stages of their careers, working in one of the most competitive and fast-paced cities in the world, London.
Giulia CanestrelliHOST
London is a global business hub, and for many, the dream place to build a career in finance.
Giulia CanestrelliHOST
But what does it really mean to work in a city like London today? How demanding is the work environment? Does work-life balance actually exist? And what do you have to do to break into the investment banking sector? These are some of the questions you'll get answered to in The Takeoff, the podcast that shares with you stories and tips to work abroad through the real experiences of Bocconi alumni.
Giulia CanestrelliHOST
I am Giulia Canestralli from Bocconi Career Services, and in this episode, I will take you through what it's like to work and live in London through the stories of two Bocconi alumni: Giulia Poletti, principal at HG.
Giulia PolettiGUEST
Thank you for inviting me, Giulia.
Giulia PolettiGUEST
Very happy to be here.
Giulia PolettiGUEST
Of course.
Graham RichmondHOST
Really quickly, I won't do each region that they do, but let's just look briefly at Europe.
Graham RichmondHOST
So Europe had IMD as number one, followed by Bocconi, IE, St. Gallen in Switzerland, ESA, London Business School, INSEAD, Oxford, Mannheim, and then ESADE.
Graham RichmondHOST
So that was sort of the top 10 out of Europe.
Graham RichmondHOST
Interestingly, Cambridge is not in there.
Alex FenglerGUEST
And on the occasion of him leaving the university, I then decided to actually do a detour.
Alex FenglerGUEST
So I went to Bocconi in Italy, find a PhD in stats there.
Alex FenglerGUEST
I was like fairly underprepared for that, especially in hindsight.
Alex FenglerGUEST
And
1 HR 34 MINS LATER
Alex FenglerGUEST
It's just a really immense breadth of contributions.
Alex FenglerGUEST
And on top of that, he kind of as far as I know, he speaks eight languages.
Alex FenglerGUEST
He passed through Bocconi when I was in Italy and I learned that actually he ended up hanging out there for half a year, speaks perfect Italian, is on top of everything also completely humble.
Alex FenglerGUEST
But I never had the occasion to actually exchange like any type of serious discourse with him.
Sheraz DayaGUEST
So you mentioned entrepreneurs, and that is an organization that's kind of a movement that's really grown.
Sheraz DayaGUEST
They've now got a business education initiative at Bocconi, which I would encourage every ophthalmologist who's in private practice on their own or with a group to go out to enroll.
Sheraz DayaGUEST
Because it's just a complete game changer.
Sheraz DayaGUEST
You understand... how a business works, you understand the lingo, you understand how to read financial statements, you understand discounted cash flow, the value of money and then you couple that with being a doctor and you got the best of both worlds.
R. Adam SmithHOST
There's this theme of underlying of who has the authority, which in the European and American context is more governed by the board charter, the board of directors, the operating agreements, and so on, which is a more, let's say, modernized structure that is discussed at IMD, at NCI, at Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Columbia, Gordon, etc.
R. Adam SmithHOST
And Bocconi, we have the governance of a certain level, but then in the emerging markets or in the Asian economies, and environments that might be a bit different in terms of how authority is structured and followed.
R. Adam SmithHOST
There's a different cultural context.
R. Adam SmithHOST
And also there's perhaps less generational transfer of power in different ways.
Frederico CabralGUEST
The European operational hubs, finance departments, customer success centers here to Lisbon because of the highly skilled and multilingual, uh, talent pool.
Giulia CanestrelliHOST

Giulia CanestrelliHOST
Shaped by a growing technology and startup ecosystem, a strong renewable energy sector, and an expanding network of international companies, Lisbon offers diverse opportunity for young professionals.
Giulia CanestrelliHOST

These are some of the questions you'll get answered to in The Takeoff, the podcast that shares with you stories and tips to work abroad through the real experiences of Bocconi alumni.
