DeA Capital Real Estate appoints new CEO

DeA Capital Real Estate has appointed Emiliano Ranati as its new Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, strengthening the senior leadership team as the company advances a broad corporate renewal process initiated following Banca d’Italia’s 2025 inspection.

Ranati brings 20 years of experience across finance, real estate and organisational management in complex institutional environments. He previously served as Chief people & security officer at Acea Group, and before that held senior roles within CDP Immobiliare, CDP S.p.A. and CDP Real Asset SGR.

His appointment will take effect following the necessary corporate approvals and follows the recent arrival of Giancarlo Scotti, who became Chairman on 22 May. Together, the two appointments form part of a wider restructuring of governance and organisational frameworks at DeA Capital Real Estate.

Enrico Drago, Executive Chairman of DeA Capital S.p.A., said Ranati represents “a new generation of managers” with deep institutional expertise, adding that his leadership will help steer the asset manager into “a whole new phase of growth.”

Chairman Giancarlo Scotti said Ranati’s blend of institutional rigour and practical management skills is “perfectly suited” to the company’s ambitions, noting his appointment will be “crucial in strengthening DeA Capital Real Estate’s position in the alternative real estate and infrastructure investment market.”
