Emotions are fundamentally contributing to decision making and are a catalysts for action. Yet, managers tend to keep some skepticism towards the effect emotions can have.
However, it takes only a few minutes to see how much negative emotions managers can spread around with top down decisions failing to rely on evidence and people’s input, no resources, no sense making, and no empathy to the implementation challenge.
Neuroscience has demonstrated that trust is highly correlated to joy both triggering employee engagement, collaborative cultures, and heightened productivity.

We are proud to see among the young disruptors recognized by Forbes Italia in its annual “100 Under 30” list, two ESCP Alumni: Matteo Frescobaldi, Brand Manager of Laudemio Frescobaldi, in the Food and Drink category, and Romolo Ganzerli, cofounder of MammaPack, in the Retail category.
The former has been selected as one of the young talents who are leading the way in the food and beverage sector.
Matteo, Master in European Business alumnus, class of 2012, is the youngest member of the thirtieth generation of Marchesi de Frescobaldi, a family firm with seven hundred years of history. The Frescobaldi family began producing fine wines and olive oil in 1307 in Tuscany. Matteo, in charge of the family’s olive oil business since 2018, is bringing his new and disruptive view to the firm, by combining his company’s traditions and centuries of experience with innovation and creativity.
So, here’s our interview with him.
First of all, congrats on this great achievement. What was the first thing that went through your mind when you heard that you were among the 100 under 30 selected by Forbes Italy?
I was very surprised and of course honored. At the same time, I also felt that was not an achievement only for myself, but also for our family and company, that gave me the opportunity in the first place to study and have this career, so I thought that I should use this great privilege as motivation to always do better in my work and life in general and to continue to improve our family business.
You come from one of the oldest family firms in the world, what is the secret of Frescobaldi’s longevity?
There are many variables that one could mention to answer this question, however, I believe that the upbringing is the most important factor. We are all taught the importance of family harmony and union, and that because we are part of the family we must lead by example (to be kind, polite, hardworking, honest, etc.), and ultimately that our heritage is not something that we own, but rather something that we manage and we must continue to do so as best we can for the generations to come.
Laudemio Frescobaldi has received a lot of recognition in the last few years. What makes your product so unique?
Firstly, its origin. Our Laudemio comes from our olive trees, located on hills at 200 – 500 meters of altitude around Florence, in Tuscany. We were the first to apply the concept of “Terroir” that is well affirmed in the wine industry, to the olive oil industry as well, so its great taste originates from the land and microclimate where our olive trees are located. Then, of course, the best production standards must be applied: harvesting at the right moment in the ripening phase of the olives, milling the olives within a few hours after they are harvested in a modern, technological olive press, and ultimately a careful selection of the olive oil produced where only the finest becomes Laudemio Frescobaldi.
Frescobaldi is committed to sustainability and social responsibility. What best practice do you apply to your company?
Frescobaldi, as a group, uses certified, sustainable farming techniques and as our estates include many hectares of woods, we also have certified sustainable management of the forests. In terms of energy consumption, we have our own green energy production using solar panels and a pyrolysis power plant fueled with the wood from our own sustainable forests. With regards to corporate social responsibility, Frescobaldi has launched a fascinating project: Gorgona. Gorgona is the last prison island of Europe, and it is in the Tuscan part of the Mediterranean Sea. We have partnered with the prison to make wine with the prisoners on the island, they are given a salary, taught a job and we commit to hiring them at the end of their sentence.
In what way did what you learned at ESCP help you to achieve your goals?
During the programme we often had very interesting guest speakers who were very stimulating and motivated us to work towards successful careers like theirs. I believe that this is a great opportunity for students. Then, during all our courses we were loaded with tasks and assessments, and we were taught to analyze the circumstances and prioritize accordingly. In real life this is probably the most important thing that I learnt. We never have time to do all the things that we would like to do and how we would like to do them. So identifying the most important objectives and prioritizing what to do and how much time and effort to invest in each project, I believe are the most important things to succeed in business and as well as life.
What is your view on the future trends of the F&B sector?
The major trend is “premiumization”. In each category of the food sector consumers seek more agricultural and/or artisanal products, which ultimately means more “gourmet”. Over the centuries the food industry has struggled with mass production in order to supply food everywhere to everyone. Today consumers don’t just want an “olive oil” they want a fine olive oil, they want to know where and how it is made, and (why not) they also want a nice packaging. Beauty has a part in this: a good product must be beautiful and beautiful products must be good.
What's next for you?
We made a long-term business plan in 2017 to increase our olive oil production, which I began to implement in 2018, so for now I still have a long way to go with this project. We will be planting new olive groves, modernizing and expanding our olive production facility, and increasing the international distribution of the Laudemio Frescobaldi.

They got a lot of great insights from experts during an intense 3-day programme, starting with a launching session at the French Embassy by Caroline Ferrari, French Ambassador to Denmark and alumna. She pointed out the leading position of Denmark in fighting against climate change and the role of IoT in this fight.
During COP25, Denmark passes Climate Act with a 70 per cent reduction target by 2030 (compared to the 1990 level).
The Internet of Things could be a game-changer for sustainability.
Leveraging AI and IoT for environmental sustainability can help maximize our current efforts for environmental protection. According to a 2018 report by Intel, 74% of 200 business decision-makers in environmental sustainability agreed that AI would help solve environmental problems.

… there are a lot of impactful IoT sustainability solutions.
Let’s see what students grabbed about IoT & Climate change!
Can IoT play a role in the Green Transition? Kenneth Jahn Andersen, CEO IoT Denmark A/S gave the MiM students an insightful overview, with great examples of IoT sustainable solutions such as reducing water waste at home or avoiding flooding in urban areas. “Date driven energy management must help drive the green transition and data bases energy help identify and reduce energy consumption in many buildings” he said.
Indoor climate is often misunderstood, said Daniel Bachmann, CEO, Ocutune. He raised the awareness of students about the dramatic global indoor climate situation, emphasising that it is a combination of air, temperature, humidity, noise and light, and that, with most people today spending 90% of their time indoors, being immersed in an artificial environment can have serious health implications.
“In Denmark today, 30% of children going to public schools get sick from the bad indoor climate,” he said, “that, to me, is not acceptable.” Intelligent use of data can improve indoor climate.
OCUTUNE develop user friendly devices and systems, which give feedback to the individual and communities to optimize sleep, health and well-being.
Welcome to Green House, the new green headquarters for the 520 employees of Schneider Electric Denmark in Copenhagen! The new building, students got the chance to visit with Jens Ellevang, Facility & Event Manager and Niels Boel, IoT Expert, Schneider Electric, is full of own energy efficient solutions and gives the perfect surroundings for an efficient workflow, for the wellbeing of the employees and the planet.

The EcoStruxure platform is an essential part of our promise to reduce our customers’ CO2 emissions by 120 million metric tons by 2020. EcoStruxure is our IoT-enabled solution that increases operational and energy efficiency. It gives our customers extensive visibility and control over energy use, thus empowering them to pursue sustainability goals.
Over the years, Schneider Electric has offered energy audits for large office buildings and now the energy auditing concept is being extended to industrial buildings. Customers in industry are focused on energy savings, being politically more aware end interested in lowering their CO2 emissions.
Jens Hammer Andersen, Living Lab Cordinateur, Doll Living Lab brought students through The Doll Living Lab, an innovative playground of 400 acre.
This Lab brings public and private actors together on a neutral ground, where they can test, showcase and be inspired by cutting edge technology in a “one stop shop” with all relevant network infrastructures.
Driverless buses in Denmark very soon? The technology is ready, the regulatory frameworks not yet. The development of self-driven cars is also gaining momentum. There is particularly great potential for autonomous public transport. Therefore, self-driven buses with app-based dynamic routing will also become a regular part of the street scene.
Which impact on Climate change? Transport accounts for about 25 percent of the world’s CO2 emissions. Self-driving car technologies are paired with electric vehicles, which we’ve shown have lower carbon emissions.
Students then met Hans Benedict Ahlefeldt-Laurvig, Process Automation, Solution Sales Atos Denmark and Claus Larsen, Country Manager to understand how vessel performance can be maximized by utilizing data, brought by IoT. First they learnt that fuel represents 55% of the direct related vessel operational cost.
IoT is a driver in cost reduction by scaling down maintenance costs, reducing technical downtime, and decreasing fuel consumption. IoT also enables new business models and opens up new value streams, as well as improves quality and efficiency of logistics. Tracking data from the engine and fuel rooms optimizes vessel performance, saves money in the long term, and reduces the CO2 emissions.
