Alantra, an independent global mid-market investment banking and asset management firm, is expanding its Italian operations with the hire of five senior professionals in its Investment Banking division.
With these appointments, Alantra will further develop its Investment Banking capabilities in the country, which currently offers M&A, Debt and ECM services to mid-sized family-owned businesses, corporates and institutional investors. The business will be led by Carlo Dawan (Chairman & CEO) and Stefano Bellavita (Executive Vice Chairman and Head of ECM).
Dawan has joined Alantra from GCA Altium, where he led the Milan office for 13 years. Before that, he founded and led his own M&A advisory business for almost 15 years.
Alantra has also appointed Valentina Osele (Director) and Riccardo Colombo (Director), who also join from GCA Altium and each bring more than 15 years of experience to the role.
The appointments add to the recent hires of Francesco Mazzocchi (Managing Director) and Massimiliano Casella (Managing Director) to lead Alantra’s debt advisory capabilities in the country.
