Axel Lezius and Stefano Petrelli: driving Aether Financial Services’ European expansion
As part of its ongoing growth strategy, Aether Financial Services is relying on exceptional talent to strengthen its European footprint. Among these key figures, Axel Lezius and Stefano Petrelli perfectly embody the firm’s ambition: combining local expertise with operational excellence.
In Madrid, Axel Lezius brings over 30 years of investment banking experience. A former senior executive at Natixis, he has developed deep expertise in financial and sovereign institutions. His strategic vision, paired with a strong understanding of macroeconomic dynamics, makes him a trusted advisor for institutional clients. His appointment anchors Aether FS firmly in the Iberian market, offering tailored support and recognized execution capabilities.
In Milan, Stefano Petrelli represents the precision and technical depth of structured finance. With more than 20 years of experience, notably at UniCredit, he is an expert in loan agency and complex financing operations. His hybrid profile—both operational and client-facing—enables him to meet the specific needs of Italian corporates while ensuring seamless coordination with Aether FS’s international teams.
Their complementary strengths reflect Aether’s strategy: to surround itself with seasoned professionals, deeply rooted in their local markets, and capable of delivering a pan-European vision of financial advisory. With their leadership, Aether FS reinforces its promise to provide clients with independent, agile expertise that is closely aligned with the realities of each market.
