Placing God at the centre of Catholic business leadership

Placing God at the centre of Catholic business leadership

Thomas Edwards explores the story behind Fides Entrepreneurship: how Luca Zocche’s encounter with businessman Ken Langone at Mass inspired a community bringing faith into conversations about business, success, and responsibility.

“As a child, Luca Zocche, founder of Fides Entrepreneurship, was often reminded by his father of the example of Ken Langone, the billionaire founder of Home Depot. Langone was held up as an example of someone who was immensely successful, but who had not forgotten that his success came from God.”
