Corporate Finance Professional at Freelance Consultant

Bio Summary

Over 20+ years of combined experience in Private Equity, Investment Banking, General Management, and Consulting, trust, precision, hard work, and the pleasure to work as a team have always been the watermarks of my professional journey.

Highly skilled in post-transaction integration, within mergers and turnaround situations, covering ERM and IT topics as well, as a consultant and hands-on manager.

Corporate Finance, M&A, ERM, Turnaround, and Restructuring are the core of my know-how, as I worked on several double-digit IRR complex deals, entailing the investment and realization of hundreds of € ‘m, building a wide network including well reputed advisors, executives, corporate entities, institutional investors, and family offices.

Diversified investment track record, by industry (financial services, manufacturing, services), asset class (equity, debt and distressed assets), shareholding (majority and minority stakes), and business stage (growth, restructuring and special situations).
