Corporate Finance Secondment in Italy

Giulia De Rosa, Financial Adviser at Provantage Corporate Finance, an award-winning corporate finance advisory firm in the UK has recently returned from a five‑week secondment with Nash Advisory, marking the completion of the 7oceans Alliance’s first international secondment programme

During the secondment, Giulia worked alongside Italian colleagues on active mandates, sharing knowledge of the UK deal market while gaining first-hand insight into the Italian M&A landscape, local deal culture and broader European market

Reflecting on her time in Italy, Giulia commented “In just a short time, I’ve learned so much. This secondment has been an amazing way to collaborate, share knowledge, and strengthen relationships across our alliance”

Beyond the day-to-day of live transactions, the secondment also offered the opportunity to experience Italian culture – from the excitement of the Winter Olympics and Milan Fashion Week to a vineyard dinner in Piedmont and time spent skiing in the mountains

Giulia is really grateful to be given the unique opportunity and returns to the UK with enhanced insight and a broadened international outlook, all of which will support ongoing collaboration across the 7oceans M&A Alliance

This secondment serves as a proof of concept, demonstrating 7oceans Premium M&A Alliance’s commitment to expanding the programme across the alliance – building more connected teams and delivering stronger cross‑border outcomes
