Alantra poaches Carlo Dawan from GCA Altium
Private equity firm Alantra has hired Carlo Dawan from GCA Altium to lead its investment baking division in Italy, alongside four other senior hires.
Dawan will join as chairman and CEO, after leading the Milan office at GCA Altium for more than 13 years. He brings Valentina Osele and Riccardo Colombo with him, both as directors.
Alantra has also promoted Stefano Bellavita to executive vice-chairman and head of ECM, from managing partner in the Milan office.
