November 14, 2025, Milan – DC Advisory Italy CEO, Francesco Moccagatta, has been recognized as Professional of the Year – Heavy Industry at the FinanceCommunity.it Awards 2025.
The Finance Community Awards recognize excellence in the Financial sector and spotlight individuals and companies that have positively contributed to the Italian financial system.
Francesco’s recognition reflects both his leadership and the Italy team’s strong track record across the heavy-industry landscape. Over the past 24 months, DC Advisory Italy has advised on 14 transactions across Infrastructure, Industrials, and Consumer, Leisure & Retail.
A recent example includes advising PATRIZIA on the acquisition of a co-controlling stake in Greenthesis and consequent de-listing process. In close collaboration with DC Advisory’s Global Infrastructure Group, the deal team leveraged its extensive experience in the waste-management infrastructure sector to support the transaction and facilitate a seamless acquisition journey for PATRIZIA.
Francesco Moccagatta, DC Advisory Italy CEO, commented: “It is an incredible honor to be named 'Professional of the Year - Heavy Industry' at the Finance Community Awards 2025. This win reflects the hard work, collaboration, and strategic thinking of our whole team.”
Neale Marvin, Co-Head of DC Advisory’s Global Infrastructure Group, added: “This transaction highlights the depth of our global Infrastructure expertise and the value of close collaboration in supporting clients on complex, cross-border opportunities. It was a pleasure to work alongside our Italy colleagues and PATRIZIA on this important milestone.”
Asked at the ceremony what is in store for the Italian M&A market in 2026, Francesco shared his optimism for increased activity - especially in the Infrastructure and Pharmaceutical sectors - and potential exits for private equity funds.
