The April assembly of Monte dei Paschi will crown him again president of the Sienese bank but Alessandro Profumo will leave his office immediately after the new capital increase of 3 billion. It was the banker himself who confirmed in an interview with Corriere della Sera what FIRSTonline already wrote last Sunday: in July he will leave Siena and Monte.
Profumo, after many years at the top of the major Italian banks - first as CEO of Unicredit and then as president of Mps - wants to start his own business. “I'll do a little late what I've been pondering for some time: the entrepreneur”.
Profumo's idea is to “build a financial structure that provides capital to average entrepreneurs who want to grow and become great”. "In Italy - adds the banker - there is a great desire to play a role that lives up to expectations: it is a country full of entrepreneurs who want to make the leap with passion and method".
But who will be Profumo's successor as president of the Sienese bank? Profumo does not reveal it also because it is not up to him to choose him but "if I am asked - he says - I will help the shareholders in choosing the new president. And I am sure that the Pact (ed. made up of the Mps Foundation, Fintech and Big Pactual) will be able to identify a high-level person”
