Andrea De Vecchi and Paolo Mondia will
serve as the co-managing directors for the region. De Vecchi is
an M&A specialist based in Milan, where he was CEO of Noda
Studio until signing a deal with Andersen in 2015 and joining
the association as one of its most important member firms two
years later.
Likewise, Mondia founded MDR Advisory
Group in 1991 and signed a collaborative agreement with
Andersen in 2014. The Swiss firm was an important starting
point for Andersen Tax’s entry into the European
market and later joined as a full member in 2017.
The board is composed of 19 top tax and
legal partners, including 14 partners from Andersen Tax member
firms and five from collaborating firms. These partners
represent firms from 17 countries, including Germany, France,
Italy and the UK.
Andersen Global has worked to build
a presence in 112 countries worldwide. The European market was
the first voyage out of the US for Andersen Tax, and the
creation of a board is a key part of consolidating its
association, but the firm has its eyes set on Asia in 2019.
