Who you work with
Three sides of the table
Before advising on a sale, Niki Donadio made one of his own. Before reading a group's P&L, he answered for one.
Ten years in corporate development and end-to-end M&A — origination and screening through to closing and the integration that follows — and, before that, the two seats that are hardest to fake: the operator's and the owner's.
The path
AutoMotion
Advisory boutique
Automotive strategy, M&A followed end to end, and applied AI. One mandate at a time, led personally, with specialists brought in for it.
EY
Manager, Strategy & Corporate Finance — Industrial, Mobility & Technology

Olympiabet
CEO and co-founder — Italy and DACH
Founded it, took it from launch to scale across two markets, and sold it. The whole cycle, from the idea to the exit — which is the part most advisors have only read about.
