Less than a year since his last course at Harvard Business School, Matteo Guidicelli is making a return to the prestigious institution this month. The Fil-Italian actor and businessman was originally enrolled as a marketing student at the university’s Executive Education program last June. He once again returned to the Boston campus last December for the Creating Brand Value course.
In his social media post last March 9, Monday, Matteo revealed that he will be spending the next six months immersed in the school’s Program for Leadership Development program. In his Instagram reel, Matteo gave his followers a peek at his dorm room inside the campus.
He wrote,
“Back at Harvard Business School Executive Education. #PLD42
"Starting a six-month journey of learning, growth, and being exposed to different minds from around the world and from different industries.
"Very grateful for the support of my family and the blessing that I’m able to be here again. Salamat, Lord. Follow me on this journey. Day 1 — moving into the dorms. The dorms keep us comfortable so we can focus on learning and make the most out of this experience.
"Learning continues every single day. Let’s begin this Harvard journey for the third time. @harvardhbs”

During his stay last December, Matteo talked about the difference between his initial experience studying in Harvard. "The first time I came here, [overwhelmed]. The second time around was a different feeling. It was really cool, more comfortable, especially the first time you're here, you're always afraid to raise your hand, to speak and stuff. You're very intimidated with the people around you," he admitted. "The second time you are more comfortable, you know the place, you know where to go, you know what to do. You have a better idea of everything, so that's good."

Apart from his career in showbiz, Matteo is also busy helping manage his family’s businesses, which include restaurants in Manila and Cebu, as well as G Studios, the management company he co-owns with his wife Sarah Geronimo, in Alabang, Muntinlupa. The 35-year-old Fil-Italian actor also launched his own podcast last month called Lead The Way where he interviews leaders from different industries in the country who share their insights on various topics.
