Inspirational Talk with Claudia Parzani

“If there’s one thing I’d like to do, it’s share my story with you, but above all, I want to hear your questions. You are the future, and I want to give you all I can.”

With these words, Claudia Parzani set the stage for a truly inspiring talk. As one of Italy’s foremost business lawyers and an advocate for diversity and inclusion, Claudia brings integrity and purpose to corporate governance. With roles spanning Borsa Italiana, Il Sole 24 Ore, Stellantis, and Linklaters, she has championed values that deeply resonated with our students.

In a warm Q&A with two of our International Business students, Arianna and Lucrezia, Claudia shared her journey — from law school to executive leadership, the lessons that shaped her as a leader, and her belief in resilience, curiosity, and inclusivity.

Arianna reflected, “Meeting Claudia was a unique opportunity…her simplicity, transparency, and kindness truly inspired me.” Lucrezia added, “Interviewing Claudia was truly inspiring. Her energy and drive were captivating, and she conveyed powerfully that being different isn’t a disadvantage — it’s a strength guiding us to our goals.”

Claudia’s talk wasn’t just a glimpse into a remarkable career; it was a call to students to embrace their own paths with courage and conviction. At H-FARM College, we believe these moments — learning from those who’ve paved their way to success — are essential in shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
