Diplomatic Immunity
James Hansen

James Hansen

Americano della West Coast, vivo in Italia da molti anni. Sono arrivato, giovane, nel servizio diplomatico USA come vice console a Napoli. Lì ho capito che “da grande” non volevo fare l’ambasciatore. Sono passato al giornalismo come corrispondente dell’International Herald Tribune e del Daily Telegraph, in seguito spostandomi “dall’altra parte della scrivania” come capoufficio stampa di Olivetti, di Fininvest e infine di Telecom Italia. Da tempo mi occupo di “diplomazia privata”, accompagnando grandi aziende italiane nelle loro avventure internazionali. È la diplomazia che mi immaginavo da ragazzo, con obiettivi più o meno chiari e i mezzi e l’autonomia per perseguirli. An American from the West Coast, I have been living in Italy for many years. I got here young, with the diplomatic service as the US vice consul in Naples. There I realized that, as a grown up, I didn't want to be an ambassador. I turned to journalism as a correspondent for the International Herald Tribune and the Daily Telegraph, and later on, I moved to the “other side of the desk” as chief of press for Olivetti, Fininvest and finally Telecom Italia. I deal with "private diplomacy", backing up large Italian companies in their international adventures. It's the diplomacy as I imagined it when I was young, with more or less clear goals and the means and autonomy to pursue them.
