It’s rare to come across a leader who not only gathers some of the most influential minds of our time, but does so with such genuine care, intention, and integrity. Attending Anthony Ritossa’s Global Family Office Investment Summit was, without exaggeration, the most impactful conference I’ve ever been a part of.
Anthony has a remarkable ability to create a space where visionaries, investors, philanthropists, and changemakers connect on a human level — not just to talk business, but to explore how we can collectively build a better future. Every detail of the experience was thoughtfully curated, and it was clear that his heart and values are embedded in everything he does.
What stands out most is Anthony’s kindness and humility. Despite being surrounded by power, wealth, and global influence, he remains deeply supportive, approachable, and sincerely committed to making an impact that matters.
As a fellow CEO, I walked away not just inspired, but with meaningful connections and a renewed sense of purpose. If you ever have the opportunity to work with or attend one of Anthony's summits — take it. It will change the way you see what’s possible.

I was privileged to meet Sir Anthony Ritossa in Dubai at one of his hallmark Family Office Investment Summits. Anthony is one of those rare individuals whose talent and professional dedication reflect what is best in the human spirit. He is uniquely distinguished by his extraordinary professional demeanor, vast experience in global investing, and authentic commitment to making the world a better place.
Dubai’s economic model focuses on developing new business entities that maximize profitability—while operating within the broader context of the national vision for industry diversification, economic growth, sustainability, and social development. Anthony’s sector focus on protecting family generational wealth in dynamic economies like the UAE and Saudi Arabia provide important guidelines for the broader model of global economic development and geopolitical well-being.
Anthony’s work inspires us to imagine contemporary business and investment structures that are founded on socially beneficial purposes. Like timeless art, these organizational models are designed to function according to intrinsic humanistic values that originate from our most noble impulses. This is the key to sustainability and long-term prosperity.
In short, Anthony has the right mindset at the right time and place. He is a progressive visionary and a thought leader—a pioneer in connecting minds and creating futures.

I’m often asked, “Where can I find capital for my startup?” The good news is that there’s no shortage of capital, especially with family offices. Family offices often have significant funds ready to invest, but they face challenges in finding the right startups which could be YOURS!
I had the pleasure of speaking at the Global Family Office Investment Summit in Dubai in a wonderful panel moderated by Hussein Sayed, CFA, CMT, where I shared my insights as an investor and asset manager. I also discussed what I call the key challenges family offices face in discovering the right startups, which include limited access to well-curated deal flow, a lack of expertise in specific industries, and a naturally cautious approach to risk. As a result, many family offices miss out on high-potential opportunities, leaving their capital underutilized.
What are your thoughts on the challenges family offices face today?

The Ritossa Global Family Office Investment Summit is well organized and extremely professional. A marvelous event for both existing and new family offices. As an institutional investor, I think it is a great conference to attend to share ideas with family offices, and to look of emerging managers. Both the panelists and the attendees are very accessible and transparent. The Global Family Office Investment Summit delivers great value to both the family office and institutional communities.

Hi Anthony, I trust you have caught your breath post a great event. I just want to again say thank you for your efforts to set this up and allow me into the fold. I also enjoyed meeting you better half! I will get onto LinkedIn in due course to share my opinion. I am in follow-up discussions with quite a few of the participants, and I think the most powerful message would be to confirm a very positive outcome, which right now seems very likely!

I want to personally thank my friend Anthony Ritossa for the very kind invitation to perform America’s National Anthem and patriotic music at the 24thEdition Global Family Investment Summit in Miami, FL. Having now performed for five consecutive U.S. Presidents and world leaders, I understand the power of patriotism. Patriotism—rooted in unity, pride, and shared values—can inspire innovation and strengthen organizations. As a cultural ambassador and minority business owner, fostering national pride within the workforce can lead to greater creativity, resilience, and global competitiveness. Corporate leaders who harness the spirit of patriotism achieve greater success in building cohesive teams, driving performance, and promoting positive international relations. I am grateful to Anthony, a true patriot and global citizen to his core, for embracing the idea to include moments of patriotism in the Summit

"Helping Others is the Greatest Form of Wealth" a simple purpose that can create a far reaching and long lasting impact on the well-being of individuals, family, business and countries! I had the great pleasure to observe and experience this at play, and be part of that journey over many years with Sir Anthony Ritossa, and through the engagement with his world-renowned family office platform.
This stated credo is the cornerstone of Sir Anthony and his family office that have facilitated the creation of significant wealth with measurable impact for many by bringing together all relevant stakeholders from every corner of the globe such as renowned family offices, thought leaders, world class established and emerging companies, state heads, government officials, impact investors and so on. His family office has opened up both the investment, and scale up opportunities for numerous game changing products, emerging technologies and services for individuals, companies and countries.
My years of collaboration with Sir Anthony have reminded me over and over again that a purpose driven mission with a razor focused mindset on execution and collaboration can change the world!

I had the privilege of meeting Anthony Ritossa in Monte Carlo, Monaco, in 2017 during one of his extraordinary Ritossia Global Family Office meetings. Having attended numerous other Family Office events before, this one stood out—not only because of the impeccable hospitality but also because of the exceptional caliber of individuals and companies present. The quality of connections I made at Anthony's event was unparalleled, featuring some of the most influential and forward-thinking minds globally.
I’ll never forget the moment we first met. During the welcome reception, it was on the top pool deck overlooking the iconic hairpin turn near the Sheraton Hotel. Anthony greeted me warmly and asked, "What are you looking for, and how may I help?” I mentioned that I was seeking investment capital. Without hesitation, Anthony reached into his top jacket pocket, pulled out his checkbook, and wrote a check on the spot. I had never witnessed such an extraordinary act of support and generosity.
Through the Ritossa Global Family Office meetings, countless opportunities have unfolded for me, ranging from funding to new ventures and invaluable peer networks. Anthony’s events have set the global standard, serving as a vital platform for startups and companies at all stages of growth to connect with capital, mentorship, and strategic investments.
Anthony Ritossa has become my trusted advisor and connection point around the world. His vast network is second to none—if he doesn’t know someone personally, he undoubtedly knows someone who does.
His ability to create such a powerful ecosystem for collaboration and innovation is nothing short of extraordinary. I highly recommend Anthony and the Ritossa Global Family Office meetings to anyone serious about expanding their horizons and achieving success.

I can’t recommend attending one of Anthony’s GFOIS events enough. As an exhibitor & pitch spot, we not only got a professional service and support in the build up and during the event,we gained value contacts and new opportunities as well as investor interest. On top all the panels, round tables and networking moments during this was valuable and so well planned. Anyone looking to network, meet industry leaders, speakers and discover new opportunities, these events are for you, won’t be disappointed. Thanks to Anthony and the team for everything they did and continue to do to support attendees.

Anthony is a pleasure to deal with. He exudes a warm, caring, affectionate energy that allows him to foster meaningful connections and relationships benefiting all who become a part of his network. 2 key traits that allow him to repeatedly attract and retain a community of distinguished professionals and dignitaries while organizing high profile ceremonies and events are: 1) Making an honest effort to understand the needs, requirements and preferences of every attendee; 2) Putting in "personal" effort to make sure attendees feel welcome and attended to, while always staying humble and respectful.
His welcoming energy is palpable during these events and there are hardly any who leave without a positive experience and meaningful connections that have the potential to be transformative in their professional journeys. The setup of these events is also well thought of and is the right mix of stress free socializing and networking, relevant content from industry experts and smaller closed door group settings for encouraging meaningful connections.
Anthony is highly recommended for entrepreneurs, UHNWIs, family offices and other private and institutional investors in case they are looking to learn, collaborate, build meaningful relationships, unearth relevant business opportunities and yes, also to have a good time in a safe setting.

My memories of Sir Anthony from our school days are of a decent, understated man.
I was delighted when I visited his international event The Ritossa Summit in 2019 to see that nothing had changed. In a world of shallowness and easy answers the substance and prosperity thinking of his summits are vital for humanity.
Humanity needs leadership and high level planning. By bringing the holders of substantial financial, personal, social and intellectual capital together from around the world, the Ritossa Summits constitute a powerful catalyst for this to occur.
I do hope the summits will continue for many years to come. In a troubled, often self-absorbed world, in which too many fail to reach their potential, Sir Anthony's vision is one of purpose, generosity and vision.
I learnt a great deal.
I was inspired.
My perspective has remained broadened from my experience there.
I would happily recommend Sir Anthony to anyone.

It’s rare to come across a leader who not only gathers some of the most influential minds of our time, but does so with such genuine care, intention, and integrity. Attending Anthony Ritossa’s Global Family Office Investment Summit was, without exaggeration, the most impactful conference I’ve ever been a part of.
Anthony has a remarkable ability to create a space where visionaries, investors, philanthropists, and changemakers connect on a human level — not just to talk business, but to explore how we can collectively build a better future. Every detail of the experience was thoughtfully curated, and it was clear that his heart and values are embedded in everything he does.
What stands out most is Anthony’s kindness and humility. Despite being surrounded by power, wealth, and global influence, he remains deeply supportive, approachable, and sincerely committed to making an impact that matters.
As a fellow CEO, I walked away not just inspired, but with meaningful connections and a renewed sense of purpose. If you ever have the opportunity to work with or attend one of Anthony's summits — take it. It will change the way you see what’s possible.
"It is with immense pride that we welcome you to the 27th Global Family Office Investment Summit in Cannes.
This event represents not just a meeting of global capital but a fusion of forward-thinking leaders dedicated to uncovering groundbreaking investment opportunities.
From blockchain and digital assets to fintech, Web3, healthcare, real estate, venture capital, private equity, and co-investments, we will explore a diverse range of transformative topics. Together, we are here to shape a sustainable and innovative future, setting the stage for growth and success for generations ahead."
