Mizzau & Partners is an independent strategic advisory boutique founded and led by Marco Mizzau and Giulio Andreotti. Its model brings together Strategic Management Consulting and Private Capital Strategy & Intelligence: complementary disciplines that connect industrial decisions with an understanding of investor expectations.
The firm advises entrepreneurs, shareholders, boards and management on strategy, performance, governance and transformation, preparation for investor dialogue, industrial partnerships and M&A strategy. The founders’ experience in previous leadership roles within complex public and private organisations informs their understanding of industry, institutions and financial markets; it is distinct from work delivered by the firm.
Few mandates. Direct founder involvement. Independent judgment.
Our approach →The firm combines the executive and institutional experience of Marco Mizzau, Founding Partner, with the legal, academic and governance expertise of Giulio Andreotti, Co-Founder & Partner. Senior specialists are engaged according to the requirements of each mandate.
In 1984, Giulio Andreotti and Alfeo Mizzau were elected to the European Parliament and shared an institutional experience in Strasbourg.
Forty years later, their grandsons founded Mizzau & Partners.
