Invel, the investment firm focusing on real estate and distressed debt opportunities across Europe, announces that it has appointed Aniello Priore as Chief Financial Officer for Invel Italy, and Fabio Bronzoni as Head of Asset Management in Italy. Both Aniello and Fabio will be based in Invel’s Italian headquarters in Milan, and will report to Davide Madini, the former CEO of RREEF Italy, who oversees the firm’s operations in the country.

Aniello brings more than 15 years of financial real estate experience to Invel, most recently at Castello SGR where he was Head of Fund Finance and responsible for managing and coordinating the financing and reporting activities of 30 real estate funds with a total of €2 billion of assets under management. Prior to this, Aniello spent 13 years as Financial and Administration Officer at RREEF Fondimmobiliari SGR. In his role at Invel, he will be involved in the due diligence, structuring and execution of transactions in Italy and supporting Invel Italy’s investment team in the acquisition, financing, refinancing, reporting and disposal processes.

Fabio Bronzoni will play a key role in growing the Italian business and further strengthen our local asset management capability. Fabio joins from AXA IM, Real Assets. Fabio has more than 10 years of asset management experience, working across various assets classes, including office, logistics, retail and hotel.

Following these two appointments, Invel’s operations in Italy are now supported by a team of six, including Francesco Molinari as Head of Acquisitions, Angelo Ningyuan Wu as Associate and Piergiacomo Agostini as Analyst.

Invel currently manages in excess of €500m of assets in Italy.

With their strong backgrounds and experience, both Fabio and Aniello will further strengthen our Italian platform and we look forward to working with them.”
