Investment Director / Head of M&A FairCap Italy (m/f/d)

FairCap is a fast-growing, internationally oriented private equity firm specializing in the acquisition of small and medium-sized companies from large corporates through carve-outs and spin-offs. We transform these businesses into sustainable, resilient, and high-performing organizations through a long-term, entrepreneurial approach that prioritizes operational excellence and value creation for all stakeholders—including the environment (“win for all”).

We are a trusted and experienced partner in complex transactions, committed to providing a strong and stable “good home” for the companies we acquire. Following closing, we work closely with management teams to drive sustainable value creation, with a clear focus on long-term growth and operational improvement.
