Our Managing Partner
Alessandro Rapanà
Managing Partner
Ale is passionate about creating valuable products and services, with the goal of putting customers first and treating employees as family. He grew up in a family deeply involved in the small and medium business world — admiring the grit and resilience of hard-working people.
He started his career at McKinsey & Co, helping clients solve complex strategy and corporate finance problems. He later pivoted to Amazon, where he had the chance to lead a $40M business in the consumer electronics category. Ale moved to Boston in 2019 for business school at MIT Sloan. After that, he joined the Boston Consulting Group in New York City, where he spent his time advising companies in a wide range of industries, including Private Equity, Tech, Healthcare and Consumer.
Outside of work, you can catch Ale competing in ironman competitions, often seen running along the West Side Highway or biking through New Jersey. As a music enthusiast, he’s also the guitarist in a three-person rock band.
Ale holds a B.S. and M.S. in Finance from Bocconi University in Milan, and an MBA from MIT Sloan School of Management.
