Domenico Siniscalco, Managing Director and Vice President at Morgan Stanley, is the current Chairman, and Gianni Riotta, Visiting Professor at Princeton University, is the Executive Vice Chairman.
The Council promotes relations between Italy and the United States and brings together industry and finance executives, economists, professionals, scientists, communications and media representatives, and Italian and American scholars, through high-level initiatives in Italy and the USA. The atmosphere of the meetings is direct and friendly. The invited speakers, political authorities, entrepreneurs, and professors engage with members in debates and personal conversations that allow them to be part of a unique and original network.
