Francesco’s 25-year career spans construction, real estate, financial services, and private equity. In the early 2000s, he was responsible for several major infrastructure development projects across Europe. This was followed by a period managing a Berlin-based company focused on alternative real estate portfolios in Germany’s residential and nursing home sectors. Over time, Francesco developed a deep interest in elderly care and a strong desire to “put something back” into the communities where Threestones Capital invests and operates.
Alessandro spent 25 years in real estate, banking and finance working across Europe, notably in Italy and Germany. He has been responsible for high-profile development projects spanning urban renewal, infrastructure and social housing. Between 2006 and 2009 Alessandro managed several European real estate funds at a Swiss-based family office. This was his first exposure to the healthcare sector, managing a portfolio of nursing homes in Germany. Alessandro’s years of commitment to this sector are what have fired his desire to set up the Threestones Foundation, alongside his fellow Threestones Capital founding partners.
