When and how did your journey as a businessman begin"

I guess it began because of my interest in soccer.  I was always interested in sports, particularly soccer, from a very early age. One of my first jobs was working as an intern at a public relations firm that promoted marathons, and I?ve worked in sports media ever since. In 2001, I became the CEO of Milan Channel, the official TV channel of AC Milan football club, and guided the international development of the channel. I was a fan of the team since my childhood, so this was a huge privilege.
In 2004, I set up and ran MP & Silva, a sports media rights company that now has twenty offices around the world. When I sold the majority of my shares in MP & Silva in 2016, the company was a world leader in TV rights distribution. Last year, I established Silva International Investments, which manages and invests in assets across multiple sectors such as media, sports, tech, entertainment, art and real estate.
