What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and scale investment platforms, source high-potential infrastructure and energy-transition opportunities, and work on fund strategy, co-investments, and value creation in an international environment.

At CDP Equity, I lead Infrastructure Fund Investments, managing €1.2bn in AuM across Italian and pan-European strategies. I oversee portfolio management and governance participation while driving new fund initiatives, secondaries, co-investments, InvestEU eligibility, and emerging-markets expansion.

Previously, I originated and structured energy-transition initiatives at Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, covering renewables, energy efficiency, and sustainable mobility. I designed joint-venture structures, partnership agreements, business plans, valuation models, and PMO execution plans.

My investment experience also includes infrastructure funds and co-investments at BlackRock, international M&A at Fluxys, sustainable-infrastructure analysis at Greentech Capital Advisors, and commercial due diligence at Bain & Company. I bring a pragmatic, roll-up-sleeves approach shaped by work across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
