Lincoln International, a leading, global mid-market investment bank, announced today an expansion into Italy with the acquisition of the majority of the advisory unit of Rondelli Advisers, an M&A advisory firm based in Milan, Italy. Saverio Rondelli, Managing Director, has been appointed CEO for Lincoln in Italy and will lead the new office (“Lincoln-Italy”). Mr. Rondelli will be supported by a team of six other investment bankers.

With more than 300 investment bankers globally, Lincoln International is established with a strong presence in the key global economies, now with 15 offices in 13 countries in Asia, Europe, North and South America.

Since its founding, Rondelli Advisers has grown to become a preeminent mid-market M&A advisor within the Italian market advising on many notable transactions over the last seven years including Candover’s acquisition of Ferretti Group (EV of €1.7bn) from Permira and Investcorp and Barclays Private Equity’s acquisition of N&W Global Vending (EV of €800m), among others. Saverio Rondelli brings nearly 25 years of corporate finance and cross-border M&A experience with such firms as West LB AG, where he headed the Italian M&A practice, Citigroup (ex- Schroder Salomon Smith Barney), and UBS.
