LONDON– Evercore (NYSE: EVR) is making a strategic play for dominance in the European advisory market. The firm announced today that Luigi de Vecchi, a seasoned investment banking veteran, will join their ranks in September 2025 as a senior managing director and chairman of its continental European advisory business. De Vecchi will operate out of Milan, Italy, where Evercore is setting up a new office, signaling a significant commitment to the Italian market.

De Vecchi brings over three decades of experience in high-stakes dealmaking to Evercore, having advised on some of Europe’s most significant transactions. His mandate? To turbocharge Evercore’s growth across Italy and the broader European landscape. He’ll strategically align with Evercore’s existing Paris-based team, bolstering services for the firm’s key European and global clients.

“I am thrilled to become part of Evercore and work with such a talented, like-minded group,” de Vecchi stated, expressing his enthusiasm for contributing to Evercore’s ambitious European growth strategy.

Matthew Lindsey-Clark, co-head of Evercore’s EMEA investment banking, underscored the strategic importance of the appointment: “Luigi’s extensive experience and high-level relationships will substantially strengthen Evercore’s established European presence, and further fuel our future growth trajectory.”

De Vecchi’s pedigree is impressive. He arrives at Evercore from Citigroup, where he held the position of chairman of continental Europe for corporate and investment banking. Prior to Citi, he was global co-head of investment banking at Credit Suisse, following stints at Goldman Sachs and Kleinwort Benson.

Beyond his Wall Street credentials, de Vecchi is an academic and philanthropist. He holds an MA in Business Studies and Economics from L.U.I.S.S. University in Rome, where he now serves as a finance professor and advisory board member. He also chairs Fondazione Sylva, a reforestation charity, and sits on the advisory boards of Save the Children Italia and Fondazione Nuovo Millennio.
