Promotions free up Matteo Colombini’s time to focus on CEO role, as company weighs up potential acquisition in North America
Italian group Orsero has followed yesterday’s Spanish acquisition announcement with two senior financial appointments, as it looks to position its board of directors for its expected expansion.
Effective immediately, Edoardo Dupanloup has been promoted to chief financial officer – a change that enables Matteo Colombini to focus solely on the group’s overall management and development as joint CEO, which he previously carried out alongside the CFO role.
Under the new structure, managers responsible for the administration and financial statements, ordinary finance, and investor relations functions will report to Dupanloup, who also retains responsibility for preparing corporate financial reports and for sustainability.
Dupanloup will also work closely with Colombini, his co-CEO Raffaella Orsero, and the board of directors on future potential acquisitions, mergers, and corporate development.
The company is currently evaluating a potential acquisition in North America and recently made known its desire to expand in the US market.
Dupanloup has been with Orsero since 2010, firstly in management control, and since 2017 as investor relations officer and M&A and corporate development support.
And he has been responsible for preparing its corporate financial reports since 2023.
Second appointment
Meanwhile, Umberto Briozzo has been handed the role of head of tax and transfer pricing, a position aimed at optimising those strategic areas at group level.
Briozzo has also been with the company for a while, having joined its administrative office in 2005.
He was subsequently appointed Orsero’s administrative manager, overseeing the tax aspects of major corporate transactions.
In his new role, Briozzo will report directly to the Orsero and Colombini, and report to the Dupanloup on financial and administrative matters.
