managing director
Massimo Barbato
Massimo Barbato's unique entrepreneurial talent and passionate disposition, have fuelled his rise as a leading creative innovation specialist, advising multi-national corporations, around the world.
Born in Hampshire, England in 1971, he studied law at Birmingham University but later redirected his career to concentrate on design and innovation. After completing an MBA in 1997, he moved to London and landed a strategic consultant's job at a top-tier, global brand agency.
His trademark ability to "think outside of the box" is exceptional - a great asset to any organisation that needs mind power in order to provide a platform to allow them to move forwards and upwards, with a real creativity that is astounding.
For all of his professional life he has been an advocate of design strategy - nurturing the belief that creativity can make the world a better place. Inspired by his visionary outlook and Italian design heritage, he founded MB:INSPIRE to help build creative, innovative companies and brands.
As well as his business interests, Massimo Barbato has lectured at Universities and Colleges on the power of creativity and design, to inspire and teach those with creative abilities to be more holistic and adventurous with their thinking processes.
