⚽ Event Overview: Join the Dartmouth Club of New York for a timely and engaging discussion on professional sports ownership and management, using the Italian Professional Soccer club Hellas Verona FC as a case study.

In January 2025, Verona entered a new chapter when Presidio Investors, an Austin-based private equity firm, acquired full ownership—marking a growing trend of American investment in European football. The deal ended a 13-year ownership tenure and positioned Verona among a growing cohort of “Italian Professional Soccer.”

This talk will explore:

-The evolving role of private equity in global sports
-Operational and financial dynamics of owning a European football club
-Governance, brand strategy, and international market expansion
-The broader implications of American ownership in Professional Soccer

👥 Featured Context:

-Ownership: Presidio Investors (Austin, TX), led by Managing Partner Christian Puscasiu (Harvard Business School MBA; UC Berkeley EECS)
-Executive Leadership: Italo Zanzi, former CEO of AS Roma, now Executive Chairman
-League Context: Verona is now among several Professional Soccer clubs under American ownership.
