Luigi Tiziano "Pecce" Peccenini (born in Ferrara, Italy in 1939) is a learning innovator, entrepreneur, company advisor and educator/speaker on health, happiness and success in business. He is best known for having founded Wall Street Institute[1] in 1972 to commercialise MultiMethod, a learning methodology that he devised that is student- rather than teacher-centric.

Wall Street Institute teaches people to speak (as opposed to read or write) English as a foreign language. It has provided MultiMethod instruction to over 2 million students.[2] It operates centers in North Africa, East Asia, South East Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East.[3] It is branded as Wall Street English[4] in China where it was voted the most renowned Foreign Language Teaching Brand of 2012.[5]
