Page Executive Italy joined the ELITE community at Borsa Italiana for a full day dedicated to understanding how M&A continues to reshape growth strategies for companies in Italy and internationally. The event opened with insights from Mauro Iacobuzio (ELITE, Euronext Group), who outlined current market dynamics and strategic perspectives for 2026.
The Page Executive session was led by Simonetta Saprio, Senior Partner, and Lorenzo Vescuso, Associate Partner, who focused on a critical message: successful acquisitions are built on people, culture and organisational cohesion, not only on financials.
They highlighted how integration represents a strategic lever, and that when leadership, behaviours and processes are aligned, post merger integration becomes a source of long term competitive advantage.
Key Highlights from the Workshop (in brief)
- A macro view on 2025–26 M&A trends by Equita Mid Cap Advisory
- Practical guidance on M&A readiness from BIP Corporate Finance
- Real world experiences from entrepreneurs and advisors navigating recent transactions
- Perspectives on the evolving role of Family Offices in the post deal phase
- Fiscal insights on Tax Strategy & M&A shared by Biscozzi Nobili & Partners
Page Executive’s Perspective
M&A transactions may be closed through financial negotiation, but long term value is unlocked through culture, leadership and organisational alignment.
At Page Executive, we are committed to supporting organisations as they navigate the human side of transformation, ensuring that talent, governance and culture become enablers of strategic growth.
We are proud to have contributed to such a high level discussion within the ELITE Community and look forward to continuing our collaboration with leaders shaping Italy’s corporate landscape.
