MILAN, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Italian boutique investment
bank Equita EQUI.MI has hired former Lazard banker Edoardo
Schiavina as managing director to strengthen its industrial
advisory team, it said on Tuesday.
Schiavina joins Milan-based Equita after a 14-year stint at
Lazard where he worked on more than 30 deals for a total value
of 25 billion euros ($26 billion).
"Equita's growth in the Industrial sector mirrors expansion
in other verticals such as Consumer and Financial Institutions
Group (FIG) and is part of the wider group's Equita 2024
strategy to build a leading independent investment banking
platform in Italy," it said in a statement.
Equita announced in September it was hiring Rothschild
banker Alessandro Fustinoni as managing director to strengthen
its FIG team.
"During 2022 we were able to attract several senior
professionals with international backgrounds and established
careers," Equita head of advisory and co-head of investment
banking Carlo Andrea Volpe said.($1 = 0.9494 euros)
