MILAN, March 18 (Reuters) - Alessandro Rivera, a former
director general at Italy's Treasury, has joined Boston
Consulting Group (BCG) as senior adviser to strengthen its
financial institutions team, BCG said on Monday.
Rivera held the top job at the Rome Treasury from 2018 to
2023, having previously led its division in charge of banks.
In those roles he oversaw key dossiers such as a state
bailout of Tuscan Bank Monte dei Paschi di Siena BMPS.MI in
2017 and a make-or-break capital raising the lender completed
five years later.
Rivera took the job of senior adviser for Europe at
investment firm Bain Capital in December, a role he is set to
retain, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni replaced him as Treasury
director general in January last year, appointing economist
Riccardo Barbieri.
