Lorenzo Palombi
CEO · TOTALE
Italy
Lorenzo leads TOTALE from Italy — a founder navigating one of Europe's most complex and under-celebrated startup environments, where bureaucratic friction is high, ambition is abundant, and the businesses that survive are genuinely resilient. His presence among Gulf and MENA operators brings a European operator's perspective on building with discipline in constrained environments — a perspective that has more in common with the MENA experience than most would expect. He is building something that doesn't ask for easy conditions.
