Founder & CEO, The Open World
Charlie Maggi is an internationally recognized advisor in citizenship-by-investment (CBI), Golden Visa programs, and strategic global relocation. With over a decade of experience guiding high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), family offices, and entrepreneurs, Charlie founded The Open World to make global mobility more accessible, trustworthy, and efficient.
I launched The Open World after years of navigating complex immigration systems, both for business and personal reasons. As a dual national, I’ve experienced the frustrations and uncertainty that come with trying to relocate, apply for a second passport, or build long-term international freedom.
Through those experiences, I saw how even highly successful professionals and families struggle to find reliable guidance. The systems are often complicated, the rules unclear, and the stakes incredibly high.
That’s why I started The Open World, to simplify access to trusted residency and citizenship-by-investment programs around the world. My mission is to offer clear, expert-backed solutions that give people peace of mind, whether they’re moving to the UAE or exploring global opportunities.
“I launched The Open World after years of facing the same barriers many of our clients face, paperwork, misinformation, and opaque systems. I knew there had to be a better way.”
Today, I use what I’ve learned to help others move forward, with trust, clarity, and a roadmap they can rely on.
My foundation is built on strong academic training from some of the world’s leading institutions:
Master’s in International Business – ESSEC Business School, France
Executive Training in Wealth & Immigration Strategies – Florida International University (FIU), USA
Exchange Program – Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China
Additional Certifications in Global Mobility & Immigration Planning
This blend of education has helped me understand not just the technical aspects of immigration, but the cultural and financial perspectives that shape every client’s journey.
With over a decade of hands-on experience in global mobility, investment migration, and strategic immigration consulting, I’ve guided hundreds of clients, including high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and entrepreneurs, through complex international relocation paths.
My approach blends deep industry expertise, global perspective, and a client-first mindset. I understand both the legal challenges and personal goals involved in moving across borders, which is why every solution I offer is built on trust, clarity, and real-world results.
