About

US-based communications infrastructure investment firm Digital Bridge was formed in 2013 to acquire, fund and manage a range of assets in the communications infrastructure sector, from cellular and broadcast towers to rooftop antenna. The company was co-founded by Blackstone Group alumnus Ben Jenkins, with Piero Bussani, a long-standing general counsel to operating companies of the Blackstone Group, brought in as chief legal officer in 2015. Digital Bridge has been particularly active in Latin America – portfolio companies include Boca Raton, Florida-based Andean Tower Partners, Mexico Tower Partners and Vertical Bridge – and has completed a number of innovative funding rounds aimed at increasing penetration in the region. Bussani has been at the forefront of much of this work, helping Digital Bridge to navigate the region’s tough, consumer-focused regulations and shareholder return policies, while mitigating its exposure to other legal and economic risks. He is a member of the Bar in New York, the District of Columbia and Connecticut, and is an Authorized House Counsel in Florida.
