The Speaker: Giorgio Piccoli
From juggling college debt to building a $60 million art and decor company, Giorgio Piccoli is living proof that the path to achievement can defy expectations — and pay off in unimaginable ways. As a child, he dreamt of owning a small business, but the weight of student loans after college led him toward a lucrative job at JPMorgan. Despite the comfort of a steady paycheck, Giorgio knew deep down that the corporate track was not his calling.
In 2012, he took a leap of faith — trading in his investment banker’s suit for the scrappy world of entrepreneurship with conviction — and founded Americanflat, a leading e-commerce brand specializing in curated art and decor. Today, Americanflat generates $60 million in annual revenue without a dime of outside funding and employs over 100 talented individuals across the globe.
Join us for an evening of insights and inspiration as Giorgio recounts his journey from Wall Street misfit to self-made triumph.
