Mediolanum International Funds has announced the appointment of Luca Matassino as chief business officer to accelerate the firm’s growth in its core markets.

Matassino has 25 years of experience in commercial development and business growth roles, most recently as head of sales at Eurovita Spa, a non-captive, independent life insurance company owned by Cinven.

At Mediolanum International Funds he will report directly to the firm’s CEO, Furio Pietribiasi, with responsibility for product development, distribution and working closely with the company’s financial advisers.

Matassino said: “The company is growing rapidly and has made significant investments into new talents, technological infrastructure, and product innovation.”

Matassino is the latest in a series of senior hires MIFL has made in the past two years, the latest being the appointment of Jeremy Humphries as head of quantitative investments.
