Livingstone wins Luca Pignato as partner for the German offices

Luca Pignato has more than 20 years of professional experience in M&A advising of medium-sized agri, food and beverage companies. Most recently, as Head of M&A Germany, he managed Rabobank’s consulting business in the DACH region.

“I look forward to working in Livingstone’s consumer team and to working with colleagues in our global offices as we continue to grow the consulting business in the agrifood, food and beverage industry,” says Luca Pignato. “Due to increasing dependence on global market dynamics, companies face growing challenges – from global balancing of supply and demand to global supply chains. Profitable growth requires a growing international presence. The increasing digitization of business models also offers a wide range of opportunities for growth and diversification. Livingstone’s global footprint and experience in e-commerce and consumer technology make Livingstone the ideal partner for premium transactional advice in the agri, food and beverage industry”.

“Luca Pignato is a perfect addition to our team. He brings extensive experience and an excellent network of contacts in the exciting and growing M&A market for the agri, food and beverage industry. In doing so, he also expands our competencies in the implementation of cross-border mandates in this sector,” comments Christian Grandin, co-founder and spokesman for Livingstone Germany.
