Luca Bertacchi

Based in Switzerland, he joined the Alexander Hughes Group in 2022, one of the leading executive search firms, as a partner with major markets of interest in Italy, Luxembourg and Switzerland.

After growing up in the Business Development and M&A department of a leading Italian energy company, in 2000 he took over responsibility for the Italian project finance team of a major European bank and completed an Executive Master in Corporate Finance at Bocconi University.

Luca then joined UniCredit’s Investment Banking Division as Senior Vice President, managing relationships with all the major energy groups and several large industrial groups. Within the same group, he joined Pioneer, the asset management company, as Head of Sales in Italy and Switzerland in both the Alternative and Long Only divisions, developing an extensive network in various financial institutions and private banks.

In 2011 he took over responsibility for the Italian market for Lombard International Assurance, the Luxembourg-based leader in private insurance. In a few years, the Italian branch grew to become the undisputed leader in private insurance for HNWI, providing solutions for all the major private banks and IFA networks in Italy.

His responsibilities were then extended to seven other European countries and international markets, being based first in Luxembourg and then in Zurich.

At the age of fifty, Luca decided to dedicate the rest of his life to finding and developing talent, combining his experience in industry, finance and complex organisations.

Luca Bertacchi holds a degree in Management Engineering from the Politecnico di Milano and has gained extensive experience in the industrial and financial services sectors over almost 30 years.

Luca is fluent in English and Italian.
