Italy-based IT search firm opens London office
The firm says it typically works for venture capital and private equity firms which fund technology investments, as well as investment banks and technology businesses.
Marcus Stafford, director of the London office, founded search firm W3 Executive Search in 2000 and joined Antesi as a partner when it bought him out. Antesi already has offices in Milan and Rome and a staff of 25 professionals.
Silvia Braghieri, managing director, said: "Apart from its interesting business potential, the UK allows us to monitor the whole European technology talent market from a privileged position."
Antesi is owned by Roberto Rosti, a headhunter who used to manage the European technology practice at the global search firm Korn/Ferry International. It began life in Italy eight years ago as TopJob IT and has moved into more senior-level search for clients across Europe.
