MILAN (Reuters) -Italy’s Nextalia has hired Enrico Monti, a former senior banker at JPMorgan in London, to lead the private equity firm’s new private credit strategy.
He will join Nextalia as a partner, an update of Monti’s LinkedIn profile showed.
Monti had lately been the head of corporate banking at Rome-based Banca del Fucino, where he had arrived in 2023 to spearhead a push into investment banking.
Before that, Monti held senior roles at JPMorgan in London, where he was responsible for coverage of major financial sponsors in Europe within the bank’s markets division.
The move comes as Nextalia expands into private credit, a market which has grown rapidly in recent years globally and is attracting rising interest in Italy.
