Brera Holdings PLC Names Pierre Galoppi CEO

MILAN and DUBLIN, June 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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.
