AnaCap has promoted Alberto Sainaghi to partner after nearly a decade inside the firm. Joining as an associate in 2015, he rose through capital-markets and deal teams before reaching managing director last year. AnaCap now entrusts Sainaghi with broader ownership over buyout strategy as European credit markets tighten and sponsors chase durable cash flows amid higher rates.

Sainaghi has operated from Italy since 2021 and directs sourcing and execution across Europe for the private equity shop. He steered AnaCap through the 2022 acquisition of Orbyt, a transaction that tested cross-border diligence and integration at a moment when leverage costs were climbing and sellers held firmer ground than buyers.

Promotion signals trust in Sainaghi’s ability to underwrite risk and close deals without excess leverage. European mid-market sponsors are shifting toward platforms that can absorb volatility, and Alberto Sainaghi now carries the mandate to prove AnaCap can do exactly that.
