Big news at the top of Eni, where the board of directors has co-opted as independent non-executive director a banker of the caliber of Alessandro Profumo who in the next few days, as announced, will leave the presidency of Monte dei Paschi di Siena.
At Eni Profumo finds his wife, Sabina Ratti who works at the foundation of the group but the board of directors correctly considered "that this does not affect the independence requirements established by the self-regulatory code in consideration of the recognized ethical and professional rigor and international reputation" to the same perfume.
Entry into the Eni board of directors will not prevent the former number one of Unicredit from starting, as announced, his new professional activity in the financial field where he plans to put his experience at the service of the growth of medium-sized enterprises.
Furthermore, just yesterday, Profumo also landed in the advisory sector, buying together with the management 51% of Equita Sim, which thus returns to Italian hands. Profumo will also become president of the merchant bank taken over by the American private equity fund Jc Flowers and of which he will remain with Francesco Perilli.
