Who we are ENG

Synopsis

CUBE Advisory was founded by Francesco Silva in 2015 on the back of his 30-year career in investment banking and m&a advisory internationally, in continuum with his prior m&a advisory business initiatives.
CUBE Advisory aims to be the “Advisor of Choice” to family-owned businesses, multinationals, entrepreneurs, teams of managers, private as well as publicly-traded businesses when facing transformational and strategic inflection points in their respective history.
CUBE Advisory is on your side when you wish (or need) to embark on a domestic or cross-border acquisition or merger, to engineer a family or management leveraged buy-out, to chart an evolutionary course for an existing shareholder base in the event of family ownership succession and/or the opening of capital to new financial or strategic investors, to structure a joint-venture, to plan a market listing, to advise on a public tender offer and on similar corporate finance transactions, or to provide general corporate finance advisory work.
We have assisted clients and transacted in most industry sectors, in various jurisdictions, across cultures.

We enable our clients to take advantage of our broad network of trust-worthy relationships developed over 3 decades in various countries and industries.
