We recently caught up with Giuseppe B. Commisso, the global vice president of corporate finance at Mediacom and son of Rocco B. Commisso, owner of Italian Serie A team ACF Fiorentina.

Giuseppe followed in his father’s footsteps to benefit from a private school education. The low student-teacher ratio and personal attention led to better educational opportunities and deep relationships with his teachers—something Giuseppe knew he wanted to continue in his high school experience. When it came time to make his choice for 10th grade, Millbrook was at the top of his list because the school aligned with his values for success and educational development. Plus, Millbrook was located on a beautiful campus in picturesque Dutchess County, and it reminded him of his home across the Hudson River.

Giuseppe took full advantage of every opportunity to get involved at Millbrook, and his passion for community-building earned him the Founders’ Prize, given to a fifth form student who has displayed an enthusiasm for life’s challenges, a creative and innovative spirit, and a commitment to the community and team play. While he was a curious student who loved math and fondly recalls every academic teacher during his three years, he relishes his memories made outside of the classrooms.

After Millbrook, Giuseppe attended Columbia University, where he studied civil engineering, economics, and environmental engineering. He joined the family businesses after graduation and is busy growing them today.
