Alessandro dall'Asta, president of the association of employees-members of Banca Popolare di Milano, declared that he had contacted InvestIndustrial, Andrea Bonomi's private equity fund. "We looked for Bonomi", explained Dall'Asta, adding that his possible entry into the bank through the 800 million euro capital increase that will begin next month, would serve to relaunch the "Milanese character of the bank" . “The activities that [Bonomi] illustrated to us, added the chairman, which are typical of his management fund, are not invasive but to accompany and relaunch the companies in which he invests and which can – with small adjustments – return to levels of excellence, as he glimpsed for Bpm.”
So a candidate who "didn't come from above", but who was independently chosen and not very invasive, seems to be the favorite to relaunch Pop Milano. Certainly more than Sandro Sposito, president of the Clessidra fund, much discussed in recent days, which apparently has not been "neither sought nor met" by members of the Association.
