June 12 2023 - 4:30PM
Brera Holdings PLC (the “Company,” “Brera” or “Brera Holdings”)
(Nasdaq: BREA) has named Pierre Galoppi as its Chief Executive
Officer. Mr. Galoppi is a seasoned international executive
and will lead Brera and its iconic brand as it pursues its
international emerging sports brand expansion strategy. “I am
extremely pleased to be selected as the CEO of Brera Holdings
during such an important period of growth and diversification
across geographies and sports,” said Mr. Galoppi.
Following its January 2023 initial public
offering on the Nasdaq Stock Market, where Brera became the first
Nasdaq-listed owner and manager of an Italian football club, Brera
FC, known as “The Third Team of Milan,” Brera Holdings acquired the
controlling interest in a first-division football team in North
Macedonia in April 2023, and established a second-division squad in
Mozambique in March 2023. In June 2023, Brera acquired a stake in
Manchester United PLC (“MANU”) and invited the MANU board to a
briefing on Brera’s innovative “Social Impact Football” business
model and other value-building strategies. In May 2023, Brera
announced that it plans to expand its acquisition strategy to
include other team and individual sports in addition to football,
which will remain its core business.
Pierre Galoppi has more than thirty years of
experience with strategic business and financial services across a
number of industries in the mid-level capital markets segment,
including natural resources, aviation, cybersecurity,
telecommunications, tourism, and international marketing. Mr.
Galoppi’s transactional experience extends to Latin America, the
Caribbean, Canada, Europe, and the United States. Mr. Galoppi
was born and raised in Rome, Italy, and is a dual citizen of Canada
and Italy. Mr. Galoppi is fluent in English, Spanish,
Portuguese, Italian, and French.
“Throughout his career, Pierre has focused on
cross-border and cross-cultural transactions and companies,” said
Brera Holdings Executive Chairman Dan McClory. “His mergers and
acquisitions experience will be of significant value to our
international brand expansion strategy. Brera has already
demonstrated its ability to identify, approach and close
international transactions,” Mr. McClory continued. “We
believe that Pierre’s skills and relationships in Latin America,
Europe and North America can potentially bring additional
dimensions to the Brera equity story and operations,” he concluded.
Mr. Galoppi’s appointment is effective as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time
on June 12, 2023, and he will also serve as the Interim Chief
Financial Officer of Brera Holdings.
Since February 2007, Mr. Galoppi has served as
the Managing Director of 1st PMG Capital Corporation, which
provides consulting services in the areas of capital markets entry,
fundraising, strategic partnerships, mergers and acquisitions and
financial services. Through 1st PMG Capital Corporation, Mr.
Galoppi has worked with a number of companies in the preparation of
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registration
statements, as well as the filings associated with their public
listing requirements. Mr. Galoppi earned a Bachelor of
Commerce degree and a Master of Business Administration degree from
Concordia University in Montreal, Canada.
