NEW YORK, May, 15, 2024 -- ING Americas has announced the appointment of Edoardo Irrera as Managing Director in the Corporate Finance team, as part of its expansion of advisory services to clients in the Technology, Media and Telecom (TMT) sector in the Americas.
At ING, Edoardo will spearhead the company’s Digital Infrastructure M&A coverage initiatives in the Americas. This expansion of services in the region builds on ING's existing advisory proposition in EMEA and APAC, ensuring global coverage for clients in this sector, which is seeing increased demand from its existing clients and investors.
“The need and demands for digital infrastructure are unprecedented, especially in light of the recent developments in the adoption of AI, and as such we want to ensure we are delivering both solutions and opportunities to our clients by expanding our capabilities in this rapidly evolving sector, not only on the lending side but also through advisory services,” said Edoardo. “ING has a very strong track record and reputation in the TMT space, especially with data centers, fiber and tower companies, so I'm excited to be leading this new endeavor for ING in the Americas.”
Edoardo has more than 15 years of experience in communications and digital infrastructure, most of which was focused on M&A origination and execution.
“Edoardo’s hire is further evidence of ING’s conviction and commitment to the TMT sector and our Corporate Finance advisory proposition, which very much aligns with our continual pursuit of providing best-in-class solutions to our clients.” Carlos Lopez, ING’s Head of Corporate Finance for the Americas, said. “The increased M&A capabilities that Edoardo will facilitate will be highly complementary to ING’s existing client solutions within Digital Infrastructure.”
