About

Mauro Albino is a highly qualified lawyer with extensive experience in the banking sector and a strong educational background. Following the completion of his legal studies at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, he worked in several positions in private practice, before joining UniCredit in 2001 as legal counsel. In this role Albino worked on a number of extraordinary company initiatives, which required both business acumen and legal knowledge. To widen his commercial perspectives at UniCredit, Albino completed an Executive Diploma in Corporate Finance between 2002 and 2003 and subsequently an LLM qualification in Corporate Tax Law, both from Bocconi University in Milano. After leaving UniCredit in May 2006, Albino joined the global investment management firm Pioneer Global Asset Management, where he immediately made a positive impression with his integrity, responsibility and ambition, while providing strategic legal opinions of the highest quality over domestic and international legal issues. Continuing to build his financial sector experience, Albino joined Intesa Sanpaolo as senior legal counsel in 2008, before going on to spend a further two years as head of legal and corporate affairs at a smaller financial institution exclusively dedicated to not-for-profit customers, Banca Prossima. In 2013, Albino returned to Intesa Sanpaolo, this time to act in his current role as general counsel for the private banking arm. His tenure at Intesa Sanpaolo Private Banking has already been highly impressive in terms of his work on transactions, governance and financial regulation, receiving praise for his ‘rare ability to combine deep technical preparation with an incredible capacity to build relationships’.
