CVC DIF, a global mid-market infrastructure equity fund manager, with €23bn across two strategies, has appointed Enrico Del Prete as a partner and co-head of the firm’s Value-Add strategy, marking an important milestone for the continued development of the platform.
Recent DIF Value-Add investments include the acquisition of Adam Ecotech, a Spanish data centre operator, HiSERV, a German aviation ground service equipment leasing provider and Celeste, a French B2B digital infrastructure operator.
Enrico will work alongside Willem Jansonius leading the Value-Add strategy and will be based in CVC DIF’s London office. He brings extensive experience building and scaling infrastructure investment platforms across Europe, most recently as a Fund Partner at I Squared Capital, where he led investments spanning passenger transport, asset leasing, cold storage, B2B fibre, data centres, waste recycling and renewable energy. Earlier in his career, Enrico held roles at Terra Firma Capital Partners and McKinsey & Co.
The firm says his appointment reflects its ambition to expand its Value-Add platform amid growing demand for mid-market infrastructure investment opportunities across Europe.
Gijs Voskuyl, Managing Partner at CVC DIF, said: “We are delighted to welcome Enrico to the team. His experience and investment track record will be instrumental in advancing our Value-Add strategy, a key driver of growth for our firm.”
