chi siamo en

Mondaini Partners is an independent strategic advisor specializing in extraordinary decisions for family businesses.

We work with families owning medium-sized enterprises when managing day-to-day operations is no longer enough and it becomes necessary to decide how to strengthen governance, prepare for generational transition, open up capital, evaluate new partners, or pursue an exit strategy.

We do not intervene in the daily management of the company. We support ownership and leadership at moments when a single decision can change the direction of the business.

Two areas of specialization

Governance and Generational Transition

We support family-owned businesses when there is a need to strengthen roles, rules, decision-making bodies, boards of directors, advisory boards, shareholder agreements, intergenerational coexistence, and leadership continuity.

Capital and Exit

We assist family-owned businesses as they evaluate going public, bringing in industrial or financial partners, sell-side transactions, business valuation, mergers, exits, and post-closing matters.

Davide Mondaini, advisor to entrepreneurial families

Davide Mondaini is the founder of Mondaini Partners and director of FamilyBiz.it, an observatory dedicated to family businesses.

For over 25 years, he has supported entrepreneurs and owning families during non-ordinary phases of the business: growth, turnaround, governance redefinition, opening up capital, entry of new partners, exit, or generational transition.

His role is to help the entrepreneurial family correctly interpret the decision, prepare the company, align ownership and leadership, and guide the process with a structured method, confidentiality, and strategic vision.

Why Family-Owned Businesses Choose MP

Firsthand experience

We have supported family-owned businesses through complex processes involving governance, development, revitalization, going public, bringing in new shareholders, exits, and generational succession.

Method and Independence

We act as strategic advisors to the owning family, integrating business analysis, governance, capital, value, shareholder relations, and the impact of decisions on the future of the company.

Observatory and Proprietary Content

Through FamilyBiz, with books, articles, testimonials, and case studies collected over time, MP possesses a wealth of experience and content built around the real-world challenges of family businesses.

How We Work

Every project begins with a joint analysis of the business, the owning family, and the decision to be made.

Depending on the context, MP supports ownership in clarifying goals, roles, alternatives, risks, and the conditions necessary to navigate the transition. When needed, we act as Lead Advisors, coordinating the work of other professionals: legal, tax, financial, and other involved advisors.

Our goal is not to produce formal documents, but to help entrepreneurs and owning families make more solid, prepared, and sustainable decisions:

  • analysis of the family, corporate, and business situation;
  • clarification of strategic alternatives;
  • training in ownership, leadership, and entrepreneurship;
  • definition of roles, rules, governance, or capital strategy;
  • support during the decision-making and operational phases;
  • coordination with relevant professionals and stakeholders.

Support Skills

Some governance and capital decisions require first strengthening the organization, management model, profit margins, decision-making processes, or the company’s financial stability.

For this reason, MP can activate reorganization, development, and turnaround expertise whenever necessary to make the company more manageable, more solid, or more attractive to new partners and investors.

Experiences, Case Studies, and Content

MP’s experience is documented through testimonials from entrepreneurs, editorial content, books, and the work of the FamilyBiz Observatory.

An extraordinary decision requires a confidential discussion

If your family business is undergoing a change in leadership, a generational transition, a public offering, or an exit, you can request an initial consultation with the MP team.
