Roberto Race

Roberto Race (July 23, 1980 in Naples, Italy) is the founder of The Ghost Team, the first international network of ghostwriters for entrepreneurs, managers, diplomats, military leaders and politicians, made up of more than 40 professional writers around the world. He is journalist and public relations expert. Italian daily Il Corriere della Sera, one of the most influential Italian newspapers, wrote that Race invented the figure of the external relations director “for hire”, working with some of the most dynamic and innovative companies in Italy and abroad. In fact Race offers clients management consulting in which communication is decisive at the start of projects rather than at the end, and he works closely with executive boards and commercial and financial directors. He is also cofounder, with Professor Pietro Paganini, and secretary-general of the Competere think tank, which focuses on innovation in the economy. Race is an Aspen Junior Fellow in the Aspen Institute Italia. He is also a member of RENA, the Italian network for excellence, Ferpi, the Italian network of public relations professionals, and he is on the Board of INWARD, the Italian network for urban creativity advisor of Italian Government. His book “Napoleon the Communicator”, edited by Egea, the publishing house of Milan’s Bocconi University, has been an editorial success in Italy and is also due to be published in English, Arabic and French. He was cofounder and secretary general of Fondazione Valenzi, an institution culturally and socially active created in memory of the ancient mayor of Naples Maurizio Valenzi.
