The founder and CEO of FNL Network, Rocco Leo Gaglioti, and has devoted over 25 years to the industry as a multi award-winning producer, director and creator. His career took off when he decided that just being apart of the industry was not enough; he wanted to be the main platform for the fashion entertainment industry. FNL Network now streams all over the world on Roku TV, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Android devices and iOS devices, while successfully reaching a diverse audience of consumers. Rocco and his international team provide a steady stream of lifestyle entertainment content for millions of viewers across the globe.
REPUBLICPride I’ve always been a visual person...
Icons of the industry have had a major inspiration on Rocco’s productions and encouraged him to create exclusive and unique content within his network. Rocco has developed tight knit relationships with acclaimed fashion designers, top models, esteemed producers and so many more prominent creators within the industry.
Carol Alt, Supermodel and multi award winning actress, says “Rocco has gone journalistically where others have tried to go but failed. Now his film archives are the sole film fashion library that is unbroken since 2000. He is expanding and growing in ways that I am sure even he could not have envisioned! He has thrived in this new social media environment when others have failed. He is the new style of entrepreneur! A visionary for a new age.”
Having entered into the entertainment industry in 1992, Rocco has watched the industry continuously change and morph with the times. In 2000, Rocco began his own production company called, RLG Productions. Since then, his productions have been nominated and won several awards across the globe. Being an Academy member and Producers Guild of America member, Rocco has immersed himself in the ins and outs of the industry. As an international
businessman, he’s traveled the world to experience other cultures that helped him shape the diverse and inclusive series within his network.
Rocco is a CODA (child of deaf adult), and learned to communicate with his hands through sign language before he could even speak. An Italian immigrant father raised him and a mother who is hearing impaired. He has held his humble beginnings closely during his journey to success.
“Being raised by a deaf mother, my first language is ASL so I didn’t start speaking until I was a bit older,” says Gaglioti. “I’ve always been a visual person and when I discovered the opportunity to tell stories through moving pictures I found it very gratifying.”
Growing up in the industry, his passion for the business of entertainment derived from when he was a young child but that feeling of elation has yet to fade.

Gabriel Trelles: «Ukraine is a profitable business platform for investors!»
A Latin American businessman from Ecuador, Gabriel Trelles, likes to break the stereotypes about conducting non-traditional business in Ukraine.
His areas of activity are, business development, investment projects and football representation on the world stage.
In business, it is very important to have a strategic vision and use all opportunities, as well as to develop public relations and business partnerships. In business it is very important to have a good relationship with your partners, they always pull you up. All this in combination leads to results that you could not imagine. In this way, we contribute to the development of this city and the country in particular.
Gabriel, you run your business around the world. You are seriously interested in football, but today this passion has grown into a very serious business and you are agency «TG Warriors» now is business partner of the Spanish company in Madrid «Protio Sport», which operates worldwide. How did you manage to reach such a level?
Our cooperation with Protio Sport began in 2011 and has been gaining momentum in the Ukrainian market since summer 2016. Realizing that Spain is the best platform in the world for the development of professional football, we, thanks to quality sports management and cooperation, sent Latin footballers there. America and Europe, which at their level showed good results. Now, together with Protio Sport, we have more than 70 players around the world.
When is a player transferred, what are the key moments in the agent’s work with the player? How long does it take to create an image?
Creating an image of a player can take six months or a lifetime. At this point, it is important to understand the mentality of the player and what he is focusing his efforts on. If he is looking for the strongest professional level, the money will go for him. If he is only looking for financial gain, he can achieve some success, but it should be understood that in this case, his career may not reach its full potential. I believe that footballers under the age of 25-26 should focus their efforts on the development of quality and technical play and not think about finances. The reward will surely come to him.
And who is the most successful and most expensive football player in the history of the company?
Lucas Perez became a player of FC Karpaty in the winter of 2011. At this stage of his football career, his market price was over 200,000 euros. Lucas then continued his career in Greece and Spain, after which, thanks to his success and professional sports management, Protio Sport, in 2016 he moved to one of the best FC in the world — the English Premier League «Arsenal». The cost of this transfer was 20 million euros.
Another great example of successful work is
Argentine Gustavo Blanco Leschuk, for whom Ukraine was also a strong career breakthrough. In cooperation with Gustavo, we managed to make important steps in his career: from FC Karpaty, Shakhtar, Malaga (Spain) to the Turkish Super League in Antalyasport.
With these examples, we show that a player’s football career can reach a world level. It all depends on international relations and the philosophy of work between the parties. Accordingly, other players, including Ukrainians, can achieve the same success. All it takes is the player’s ambitions, discipline and a shared vision with the football agent.
World statistics show that today football is the largest source of funds. How do you plan to improve your position in this business?
Follow the same strategy. Our task is to understand and capture the key points and take the right steps to develop a footballer’s career. When football grows, everything grows: investments, salaries, commissions, budgets. To be in this growth movement you need to be in a strong global market. One of these today is Spain.
Gabriel, you have shown by your example that even a non-traditional business can be successful thanks to the right management. What can you wish to those who want to run their own business?
Today is the perfect time to do business and it is available to absolutely everyone. The key in this process is communication and networking, which opens up many opportunities. If you follow these things, you can achieve the desired result.
Despite the fact that we operate at the foreign economic level, and all our customers are foreigners, but investments from our projects go to Ukraine. In this way, we contribute to the development of this city and the country in particular.
