Capzanine opens new office in Italy

Minard will lead a team composed of Riccardo Dore and Tommaso Galletta that will be responsible for Capzanine's investments in Italian SMEs. The team will also support development projects of Capzanine's French, Spanish and German portfolio companies targeting investments in Italy.

Minard began his professional career in 1992 at Société Générale in Milan. After working at Creditanstalt and Arca Merchant, he joined Mediobanca in 1998, where he led the firm's structured finance team.

In 2005, Minard created, with his partner Andrea Cappuccio and the support of Bi Invest and Intesa Sanpaolo, the Mezzanove Capital Fund, which was dedicated to the Italian mezzanine debt market. In 2013, Mezzanove's activities evolved into Emisys Capital, a hybrid capital fund, where Minard was managing partner.

Capzanine completed a transaction in Italy in January 2018, when it assisted Céréa Partenaire in the acquisition of Monviso, a Turin-based producer of baked goods.

The decision to open a new office in Milan follows the openings of an office in Germany in 2017 and in Spain in 2016, in order to further develop the firm's presence across Europe.
