Alessio began his career in the fashion industry. He was an Executive Director for Calvin Klein Europe in the Milan office for over 4 years before moving to the United States as Vice President of Elie Tahari, Ltd’s New York office, which he held for more than 8 years.

His ability to organize key corporate decision-makers earned him a reputation as a perceptive businessman. He easily stepped into a consulting role in 2007 by establishing AB Studio, Inc, providing management consulting services in manufacturing and logistics. Performing in the consulting arena between Asia and US, he discovered a special interest in the regulations guiding the complex logistics process in international trade - from a designer’s sketch until the garment reaches stores worldwide. In Europe, he founded a commercial real estate company in his native Italy,that holds residential, commercial and industrial properties. In South-America, Alessio entered into a partnership for the construction of social-housing neighborhoods in Panama the project is currently under construction. In 2011, Alessio co-founded a new company, and is currently performing negotiations on behalf of one of the top 10 consumer gas companies in Italy.
