Mr. Renato Della Valle is a businessman, real estate entrepreneur and investor with extensive experience in growing businesses and a particular interest in innovation. He started his career working for the newspaper ‘il Giorno’ in Milan in 1961 responsible for special services and new initiatives. In the first 6 months he convinced the merchants of Via Paolo Sarpi to advertise as a street and not as individual shops which resulted in great success for all.
In 1963 he started working for Gabetti, Italy’s leading real estate firm, shortly after taking the position of Director of Sales at Castello Real Estate. In just 3 years he increased company revenues from €3 billion to €30 billion annually.
In 1969 Mr. Della Valle founded his own real estate company - Della Valle Immobiliare - with the slogan “Where do you go if you don’t have a house?” based in Milan. Additionally from 1975-78 he became CEO of the fashion brand Giorgio Armani and a 25% shareholder in the company. He began exploring new ventures thereafter such as the founding the company Clexidra with a new model for consumption-based car insurance based on distance travelled.
In 1985 Mr. Della Valle founded the company SIB (Servizi Immobiliari Banche) which provided banks with real estate services. It became the first Italian company to deal with real estate related non performing loans in the banking system, with the participation of all Italian banks through ABI (Associazione Bancaria Italiana).
Then he founded the company Diffusion Phone and he was the first to develop a colored mobile phone without an antenna for the German company Hagenuk and signing an agreement with Ferrari Auto to make colored phones (red, yellow, black, metallic) with the Ferrari logo.
More recently in 2005 he entered the pharmaceutical industry by founding the pharma company NMTECH in London. In 2017 he started a new venture in personalised medicine and founded the company Drug-PIN in 2018. Today he is the CEO and one of the primary investors of Drug-PIN
