Fundera strengthens leadership with new board appointments as F&P Merchant Group outlines strategic growth through 2027

“I am truly proud of the new team that will lead the group for the next three years – said Leonardo Frigiolini, founder of the F&P Group – because it allows us to pool the various experiences gained by a Board of Directors of great depth, starting from the President, a professor at a prestigious university, and moving on to the experience gained in the field by the remaining protagonists who in various capacities have worked at banks, consortia, and developed technology at the service of finance.”

“The latest “acquisition” – continued Frigiolini – that of the Lawyer Piattelli, of Genoese origin (lent to the Milanese business), a profound connoisseur of the crowdfunding phenomenon since its introduction in Italy and now also internationally, represents an important resource for the Group, in particular for the subsidiary Fundera which is gradually expanding its operational sphere to strengthen its leadership acquired in recent years.”

The Board will remain in office for three years, until the closing of the financial statements on December 31st, 2027 and will have as its main strategic objective the strengthening of the entire structure of the Group which has ambitious growth projects and strengthening of leadership.
