Paolo Zampolli

Ambassador Paolo Zampolli (born March 5, 1970) is a New York City entrepreneur and environmental advocate. He was born and raised in Milan, Italy to a prominent Italian family, and lived in Paris, France before moving to New York City in the mid-1990s to pursue business interests in the fashion industry.

In the late 1990s Paolo Zampolli founded ID Models in New York City. The agency represented high-end fashion models including Ana Hickmann[1] and Cinthia Moura, and was known for being a pioneer in using web technology to market and book models electronically. The agency operated until 2008 when Zampolli divested fashion-based business interests.

Zampolli owned and operated several other fashion related businesses before establishing himself with real estate mogul Donald Trump[2] and the Trump Organization as Director of International Development, and also with Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate in New York.

While transitioning from the world of fashion to real estate Mr. Zampolli gained international notoriety by incorporating the usage of high-end fashion models to sell exclusive properties in Manhattan.[3] The venture prompted attention in several American, Australian and Italian news publications, including a story on the business cable news network, CNBC,[4] featuring one of the participating models, Angie Everhart.

In 2008, Zampolli's Black American Express card (formally known as Centurion Card) made headlines when recording artist Lil' Kim was photographed for Nylon Magazine wearing a diamond encrusted Black American Express card with Paolo Zampolli's name on it. There was no foul play involved, as a stylist for the magazine provided the prop, and it was for fashion purposes only.

Over the last few years Zampolli has worked with several United Nations environmental projects, including hosting functions such as the United Nations Diamond Awards Gala for Renewable Energy and The Friends of Climate Change. The event honored Czech-Supermodel Petra Nemcova who was honored at the event for her work with the Happy Hearts Fund, and Steve Weisz, CEO and Founder of In Ticketing, and United Nations Economic and Social Council Advisor. Most recently, Zampolli has served as President of Green Incorporated, a firm that collaborates with the United Nations on ecological projects.[5]
