International Funds has appointed Luca Matassino
(pictured) as chief business officer to accelerate
growth in core markets.
In the newly-created role, Matassino will focus on client
experiences, working with distributors and financial advisors to
develop new products and evolve the company’s existing investment
offerings.
He will define targeted internal and external communication and
marketing campaigns across markets, and use the company’s
investment in digitalisation and analytics to monitor investment
solutions and ensure that they meet expected outcomes.
With more than 25 years of experience in commercial development
and business growth, Matassino was previously head of sales
at Eurovita Spa, a non-captive, independent life insurance
company owned by Cinven. Prior to that, he was executive director
and deputy head of Italy at UBS Asset Management, leading the
firm’s Italian distribution team, and previously a sales
director at Fidelity International in Italy. His career started
at Kraft with the large distribution of goods.
Based in Dublin, he will report to Mediolanum’s chief executive
officer, Furio Pietribiasi. “Luca’s expertise and knowledge are
going to be critical in the evolution and expansion of our
distribution and servicing model to meet the standards required
to succeed in our industry,” Pietribiasi said.
“I am thrilled to join MIFL to lead the firm’s effort to achieve
its future very ambitious business targets. The company is
growing rapidly and has made significant investments into new
talents, technological infrastructure, and product innovation,”
Matassino said.
