Sir Anthony Ritossa is Chairman of the Ritossa Family Office. Ritossa Olive Oil and Family Office represents the distillation of six hundred years of history—of a grove, a family and a region. The gnarled roots of the Ritossa groves have persevered through war and natural disasters, through changes of climate and country, and under the rule of warrior princes, wealthy merchant kings and modern despots. The Family Office is known for their contrarian & thematic investments which have included the US Subprime Crisis, the European Sovereign Debt & Banking Crisis, and various strategic PE, RE & block-chain allocations.
Sir Anthony has over 30 years of international financial markets and investment experience. Prior to his family office role, Sir Anthony was recognized for his distinguished Wall Street career in New York, having held senior executive positions at Nomura, Barclays Capital, Morgan Stanley, BNP Paribas, Bankers Trust (acquired by Deutsche Bank). Sir Anthony is a frequent speaker at various International Investment Conferences and sits on a number of advisory boards.
The Ritossa Family Office is host of The Global Family Office Investment Summits. The Summit Series has made global headlines as the world’s largest and most exclusive gathering of private wealth of all time, with 600+ Elite Family Offices, Prominent Business Owners, Sheikhs, Royal Families, Private Investment Companies, Sovereign Wealth Funds & industry professionals from around the globe in attendance.

Karen Maclean
Secretary to the Board
Karen MacLean is the co-founder of The Green Free School in Denmark. The GFS is an innovative primary school which focuses on preparing children for creating and living in a sustainable society. Moreover, the school develops a pedagogy of sustainability.
Surprisingly enough, the school is three and a half years old, and 130 students from kindergarten to eighth grade have enrolled. The GFS attaches equal importance to arts and crafts, social and emotional learning, and traditional academic disciplines.
The students spend a lot of their time in the school gardens and on field trips. Usually, the learning activities are organized in interdisciplinary projects. They take their point of departure in empirical experiences rather than in standard classroom learning.
