Houlihan Lokey has appointed Vieri Betti Guaraldi as a managing director of its capital markets group, part of its expansion of the European team.
In the Milan-based role, Betti Guaraldi is responsible for delivering the firm’s bespoke debt advisory services to clients across Italy and, more broadly, Europe.
Betti Guaraldi has more than 15 years of industry experience and joins Houlihan Lokey from Rothschild & Co, where he has spent the majority of his career on the debt advisory and restructuring team.
Prior to this, he was part of Merrill Lynch’s M&A division.
Commenting on his appointment, Betti Guaraldi said: “Houlihan Lokey is a firm with great momentum and an impressive growth trajectory, particularly in Europe. I look forward to collaborating with my new colleagues to offer thoughtful capital solutions to our clients in Italy and the rest of Europe.”
Anthony Forshaw, head of capital markets advisory Europe, added: “With our European transaction flow continuing to increase, Italy is the next obvious step to building out our European capital markets advisory franchise after our recent expansion of the team into France.”
