PANTA RAY was founded in Milan in 2009 by Gianna Detoni, after a 30-year career at JPMorgan Chase Bank.
The first consulting activities, always carried out according to the founder’s vision, have been one of the main reasons behind PANTA RAY’s positive performance.
In 2011, she became a BCI Approved Instructor, an authorized professional who is allowed to hold training courses for the Business Continuity Institute. In 2014, she founded the BCI Italy Chapter of which she became the leader.
In 2014, PANTA RAY had a turning point. As Alberto Mattia came into the picture as the Managing Director, the company took upon itself the challenge to grow and develop and to establish itself internationally as well.
Since then, PANTA RAY delivered continuity and resilience projects for a number of large companies in every segment. At the same time, the company has been able to create an effective partner network that has encouraged its growth. It became a reseller partner for the best resilience software solutions on the market, such as those proposed by Riskonnect, which manage business continuity programs, and those by Everbridge, which are used to manage mass notifications in case of emergencies and crises.
During these years, the company has contributed to popularizing knowledge of both organizational resilience methodology and practice, not only by training thousands of professionals internationally, but also thanks to sponsored international events, in particular the BCI Italy Chapter initiatives, which were coordinated by the very same PANTA RAY team. The company also sponsored the BCI European Awards 2018 held in Milan for the first time in the history of the Institute.
In 2022, Alberto Mattia became Managing Partner of PANTA RAY, succeeding Gianna Detoni, who sadly passed away after laying the foundations of the company’s enduring vision.
That same year, PANTA RAY concluded its long-standing collaboration with the Business Continuity Institute (BCI), marking the beginning of a new chapter focused on growth, independence, and innovation.
In the years that followed, through a renewed communication strategy — including the “Youman” podcast and Alberto Mattia’s TEDx talk — PANTA RAY has strengthened its public presence and has become Italy’s leading point of reference in organizational resilience, crisis management, and business continuity. Building on this evolution, the company has progressively expanded its scope to include risk resilience and corporate governance, reinforcing its role as a trusted partner for organizations aiming to anticipate and navigate complexity.
In 2025, this journey culminated in PANTA RAY becoming a Corporate Founding Member of The Global Resilience Professional Body, affirming its commitment to shaping the future of resilience at an international level.
