Capza appoints Zavattaro as head of Italy

In his new role, he will be responsible for Capza's investments in Italian SMEs and will support the development and expansion of Capza's French, Spanish and German portfolio companies in Italy.

Zavattaro will join Capza associate Tommaso Galletta in Milan. In the coming months, the firm plans to further develop its Italian team with new hires.

Prior to joining Capza, Zavattaro worked as a manager for General Electric, taking part in numerous M&A and private equity transactions within the firm's capital division. He also worked for French investor Siparex, where he was in charge of launching their Italian private equity activities, and as head of private equity for Crédit Agricole.

Capza opened an office in Milan in April 2019 with the aim of further developing its presence across Europe, following the openings of an office in Germany in 2017 and in Spain in 2016.

Outside of France, the firm has invested in six operations across Spain, three in Germany and one in Italy, a minority investment in Italian baked goods producer Monviso.

Capza has recently held a first close for Capza 5 Flex Equity on €450m. The vehicle has a target of €500m and has already exceeded the size of its predecessor, which closed on €350m in October 2016. With this closing, Capza has reached €4bn in assets under management.
