Shortly describe your professional career

I am a Partner in the Corporate Implementation department at ATOZ. A professional in this field since 2000, I have experience in the implementation of complex corporate structures dealing with multiple jurisdictions and advisers and in advising sophisticated investors, private equity firms and multinational corporations on aspects of complex corporate structurings, LBO, M&A transactions and financial restructurings. I have also extensive experience in the set-up and operation of regulated and unregulated funds.
