Giovanni Melpignano selected for “GAME CHANGERS” 2023

“GAME CHANGERS: Women and Man changing Puglia”

A real coffee-table book, edited by Fabio Mollica and part of the new series “Amazing Puglia Luxury Books Collections”, about Puglia men and women who have done something of significance and want to continue to create jobs, income and profits. In short, this book gives due recognition and prominence to those who every day, through their work, ideas, insights and sacrifices, make Puglia better.

For the 2023 edition, Mollica selected and interviewed 40 entrepreneurs, including Giovanni Melpignano, CEO of Southenergy SRL

GAME CHANGERS: INNOVATE  YOURSELF

“If Puglia has grown so much over the past 20 years, it has also been thanks to an entrepreneurial class that has been able to innovate and innovate itself, coping with repeated crises (financial, health, social), putting aside whining and rolling up its sleeves, achieving incredible successes that are hard to imagine.”

In Mollica’s words we find not only the true essence of the “Game Changers” project but also the common thread that unites the protagonists of this edition.

This is Melpignano’s answer to Mollica’s question, “What is your motto?”. A motto that well summarizes the spirit of a situation like Southenergy, a leading photovoltaic and wind power company with 15 years of experience in the renewables sector, but which still preserves the activism and dynamism of a start-up that, in its business success, also sees a pay-back and the enhancement of its home territory.

A PROJECT TO MOTIVATE, INSPIRE, ENTICE

“Game Changers” sees the light especially in terms of incentivizing the next generation of entrepreneurs, traders and artisans ready to conquer the world, starting from Puglia.

And it is precisely in this visceral connection with the land and desire for its enhancement that we find the origins of the company founded in 2008 by Melpignano: “Southenergy was born from the dream, written on a piece of paper, of enhancing the resources of my homeland: the sun and the wind.”

We are proud and honored that this dream, conceived 15 years ago, now sees Southenergy among the best examples of a successful Apulia.
