James Palumbo began his professional career in the world of finance. In 1991 he co-founded the iconic London nightclub Ministry of Sound. He now presides over a global, multi-media business renowned for its vision and daring ideas, ensuring his continuing influence of popular culture. Palumbo's strong opinions and refusal to be daunted by controversy have allowed him to predict with TANCREDI a unique vision of the world; one paralysed by individual self-interest and lack of foresight that is unwilling to stop its own destruction.
