About Luminato
Luminato's Board Leadership
Luminato's visionary founders and Board Co-Chairmen are David Pecaut (Senior Partner, The Boston Consulting Group; Chair of the Toronto City Summit Alliance), and Tony Gagliano (Executive Chairman and CEO, St. Joseph Communications).
David and Tony each independently envisioned a large-scale annual arts festival in Toronto. Introduced over dinner several years ago, they quickly realized their shared vision and the potential of their combined leadership to realize the dream. Over the next few years, the Toronto City Summit Alliance conducted hundreds of consultations. By 2005, a critical mass of artists and arts executives, business and community leaders, and government officials had embraced the vision and added their ideas and commitment to the concept. In December 2005, the Government of Ontario stepped forward with $1 million in funding. Preparations for the inaugural festival began in earnest.
