Summary
Fabio Petroni is a development and entrepreneurship specialist with 11 years’ experience building academic and startup ecosystems across Africa, currently serving as Director of Programmes at E4impact Foundation and Board Member at All Factors. He designs and scales MBA programs in impact entrepreneurship, forges university and donor partnerships, and leads business development in West Africa, blending strategic program design with hands-on teaching in business modelling. His background spans corporate sustainability and international development—having advised Eni on energy access and represented stakeholders at Rio+20—giving him a rare fluency across private, public and academic spheres. Fluent in stakeholder engagement, fundraising and quality assurance, he is skilled at turning institutional relationships into accredited, sustainable educational ventures. A less obvious strength is his philosophical and globalisation studies formation, which informs a thoughtful, systems-level approach to building entrepreneurial capacity in emerging markets.
