Available from October 2026 · Paris

Hi, I'm Carlo Ludovico Capizzoto,

co-founder & CEO of GrowMi, digital marketing & data analysis student @ Emlyon Business School.

01

About

I was born in Messina, I'm 21, and I love growing things from zero: events, communities, products.

I hold a bachelor's degree in CLEACC from Bocconi University (Economics and Management for Arts, Culture and Communication), with a thesis on brand communication in luxury hospitality. Since September 2026 I've been enrolled in the MSc in Digital Marketing & Data Analytics at Emlyon Business School in Paris.

I've played trumpet and piano for over ten years: art is the starting point of almost everything I do. Along the way I worked in Sales & Marketing at Villa d'Este and was Project Manager of a 250+ participant event with B.lab Bocconi.

I co-founded GrowMi, which promotes emerging artists through live events in Milan. I lead a team of 12, handle strategy, partnerships and social media, and I built our website and ticket-screening software using AI.

I'm looking for an internship or role starting October 2026 in digital marketing, brand communication or event management, where creativity meets data.

Beyond work

One of my biggest interests

Exclusivity

It's something I pay attention to in everything, from food to clothes to any other choice: I look for what is rare, refined and made with quality. It's no coincidence my thesis is about luxury hospitality.

10+ years

Music

Trumpet and piano for over ten years, former principal trumpet of the Ars Nova Orchestra in Messina.

Competitions

Bodybuilding & fitness

Competition experience: discipline, consistency and patience to see results.

Water polo

Sport

Sport is part of my routine. Water polo taught me resilience and how to play for the group.

Engines

Cars & motorbikes

A passion for everything with an engine, on four wheels and on two.

Self-care

Nutrition

I pay close attention to what I eat: taking care of myself starts at the table.

Outdoor

Scouting

Leadership and strategic thinking when things don't go as planned.

Claude Code

Coding

I like building the tools I need myself: GrowMi's website and ticketing software, and this very site.

Automation

Expense tracker in Excel

I built an automated Excel file to keep track of my personal expenses. See Quadriamo ↗

Books

  1. Thinking, Fast and SlowDaniel Kahneman
  2. This Is MarketingSeth Godin
  3. Emotional IntelligenceDaniel Goleman
  4. Public Speaking and Influencing Men in BusinessDale Carnegie

Music

I've loved music since I was a kid. Studying music in middle school and high school turned that love into curiosity for every genre, and taught me to appreciate quality and recognize talent when it's rare.

  • Rossiniopera
