Kepler Cheuvreux has expanded its Milan-based team with the appointment of Luca Carollo as head of sales, Italian clients, and Paolo Sturlese as head of Italian equities.
Luca Carollo, Paolo Sturlese
Carollo brings 25 years’ experience from both Milan and London to the role. He most recently served as head of equity sales and sales trading for Italian clients at Société Générale.
As part of his new role, Carollo will focus on expanding Kepler’s Pan-European and international product offerings, particularly in the US and APAX markets, for domestic investors.
Meanwhile, Strulese has been promoted to the role of head of Italian equities, having been with Kepler for nearly 20 years. He brings expertise as an Italian country specialist to the role.
Kepler added that his deep understanding of the Italian market has enabled him to build strong relationships with investors across the UK, US, and APAC regions.
Carollo and Strulese’s appointments follow that of Oliver Mudie, who was named head of sales trading, US client zone, KCx, last month.
Mudie joined the firm from Bank of America (formerly Bank of America Merrill Lynch), where he spent the last 18 years, most recently serving as manging director, sales trading.
Elsewhere, in August, Robert Miller joined Kepler Cheuvreux’s execution leadership team as head of market structure and liquidity solutions. He was previously head of international trading analytics and strategy at Vanguard, having joined in 2019.
