I’m Dario.I've been investing and allocating capital for 15+ years.
I believe private capital, entrepreneurship, and free initiative are the true engines of progress and a free society—principles I’ve applied throughout my career.
This is where I come from.
I come from a family where business was a way of life. My journey began by working alongside my father in our family business, providing me with firsthand insight into the realities of running and growing a company. This experience sparked my passion for entrepreneurship and private capital. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve founded and managed several ventures, always focusing on creating long-term value in industries I understand well.
My career has been built on strategic investments in real, operational businesses that drive sustainable growth. From managing portfolios to overseeing buyouts, I’ve applied my belief in private capital, entrepreneurship, and personal initiative as the main drivers of progress and a free society. Currently, as an Operating Partner at a leading international asset manager, I continue to apply these principles to help shape and grow businesses while navigating an ever-evolving investment landscape.
My values are the foundation of my work.
Freedom comes from seeking truth with rationality.
Freedom
I believe in creating a life where I can make choices without constraints. For me, freedom is the ultimate goal that drives every decision, from the investments I make to the partnerships I form. It's not just about financial independence, but about the ability to think, act, and live according to my own terms.
Truth
Transparency and honesty are non-negotiable in everything I do. I seek the truth, even when it's uncomfortable, because I believe that clarity brings the best long-term outcomes. Whether it’s in business or personal life, I strive to always operate with integrity, knowing that trust is the foundation of every successful relationship.
Rationality
I approach life with a practical, no-nonsense mindset. Emotions play a role, but decisions are best made through clear thinking and logic. My investment philosophy is rooted in this principle. I focus on what makes sense, what’s sustainable, and what creates real value over time.

I structure and manage investments across a range of industries, with a focus on sustainable growth and long-term value creation. By diversifying portfolios across sectors and currencies, I minimize risks and enhance stability.
