Gianluca Ruggiero

I was born in 1970 in Naples, Italy. After several years spent at sea competing in sailing regattas around the world, I eventually started my Marketing career in Unilever where I managed Global Brands such as Magnum and Cornetto, among others. Some years later I followed my passion for Digital Marketing to join MRM Worldwide, a leading Digital and CRM agency, and I am currently the Chief Operating Officer of the Italian branch of McCannWorldGroup. I'm working hard to create a new breed of Marketing Consulting Agency, one that builds earth-rooted Brand Strategies and Marketing Solutions that truly live across all Media.

I'm married with Livia and I'm proud father of two children, Daniele and Lorenzo. During my spare time I keep sailing my Laser in competitions all around the world. Sometimes I win, too.
