Ernesto Achille Preatoni

Chairman & founder, Preatoni group

The Preatoni Story traces its origins to the late 1960s when Ernesto Preatoni embarked on his career as a financial consultant. In 1985, he demonstrated exceptional financial insight through the historic Bi-Invest takeover, a pioneering event in the Milan Stock Market. This success was followed by strategic takeovers of Banca Popolare di Lecco and Credito Bergamasco in 1987, solidifying Ernesto's reputation as a strategic leader. The 1990s marked a new chapter with Ernesto's venture into Sharm El Sheikh, where he initiated the Domina Coral Bay project—a pivotal hotel complex that catalyzed the Red Sea tourism boom. During the mid-1990s, he founded the ProKapital Group, laying the groundwork for substantial project developments in the Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Russia. In 2012, Ernesto shifted his focus to Dubai and the Far East, charting a strategic course that will shape the company's future trajectory. Fondly describing himself as a 'free man,' Ernesto operates independently of political expediency, choosing market competition driven by original ideas over powerful alliances. Known as 'The Pioneer,' this title also graces a book released in 2013, offering a captivating glimpse into the extraordinary life of a visionary leader.

Being a self made man, I've always prioritized integrity over money because reputation is everything. In my 50 years as a businessman, I have always been as fair and transparent with my partners as I could be. These are not mere words but facts evidenced by successful management of portfolios for loyal partners and investors over decades. In my opinion, hard work and ethics create a mix that is unbeatable. Speculative operations never appeal to me, I always pursue long-term success
