French private equity firm Tikehau Capital has appointed Roberto Quagliuolo as new head of Italy following the departure of Luca Bucelli.
The news, which was first reported by Italian financial paper IlSole24Ore, sees Quagliuolo take the helm of the Italian business after six years as managing director, deputy head of private equity and co-head of Italy.
He joined Tikehau 2018 from Oaktree Capital Management.
Earlier this year, Tikehau also appointed Massimiliano Grillo as sales director for Italy with the aim of developing the group’s activities in both capital markets and private markets strategies.
Tikehau's most recent real estate acquisition in Italy was the purchase last November of a €37 mln supermarket portfolio consisting of 5 supermarkets across tourist destinations in the country. Unicoop Tirreno, the Italian retailer, agreed a triple net lease with a 24-year term and adjusted against inflation.
