About Annelise
Career Background
With a Magna Cum Laude Law Degree from the University of Rome and a Master in Banking and Finance Law from the University of London, I transitioned from a successful career as a Barrister in Italy to an international banking and finance lawyer in London.
My private practice experience with Clifford Chance and Linklaters & Alliance honed my expertise in financial market regulation, securitisation, project finance, and corporate law.
In 2004, I assumed the role of Vice President - Head of Italy Legal at Morgan Stanley, overseeing legal operations for both private and public sides, as well as corporate governance. I later earned a promotion to Executive Director and spearheaded the Legal Diversity Committee in 2010.
In 2012, I ventured into the recruitment start-up scene, serving as Client Relationship Director for over a year.
Today, I leverage this extensive background to empower individuals and teams in their career journeys.
