Leonardo & Co.
Leonardo & Co. is the investment banking division of the continental European banking group Gruppo Banca Leonardo (GBL).
GBL was established in its current form in 2006 when Gerardo Braggiotti (former head of the European activities of Lazard) backed by some of Europe's most prominent investors and families acquired and recapitalised the existing banking group GBL. Our shareholders include the Agnelli, David-Weill, Frère and Abello families as well as institutional investor Allianz.
Leonardo & Co. offers independent corporate finance advisory services with a team of over 150 experienced and renowned bankers in Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Rome and Zurich. The corporate finance activities of Leonardo & Co. are focused on M&A advisory as well as debt and equity (re)structuring advice.
In January 2009, Leonardo & Co. opened an office in Amsterdam. Currently, the Amsterdam office consists of 10 corporate finance professionals.
