Enrico Baldan

Independent Director & Consultant

About Me

I am an accomplished director and consultant with over 15 years of experience in alternative investment fund management, real estate asset governance, and strategic advisory at an international level. Throughout my career, I have held key board positions across Europe, providing robust corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and risk management oversight for multibillion-euro funds managed by leading global investment players.

My expertise extends beyond independent directorships to consultancy engagements, where I support organizations with tailored advice on corporate and fund governance, compliance and regulatory frameworks, KYC/AML and operational efficiency projects,.

This combined experience allows me to offer a comprehensive perspective that enhances board effectiveness and organizational performance.
With a strong legal background and advanced qualifications in compliance management, I bring a disciplined and transparent approach to all engagements, emphasizing regulatory adherence, sustainability, and stakeholder value. My corporate portfolio spans Luxembourg, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, and the Channel Islands.

Fluent in Italian, English, and French, I am passionate about navigating complex regulatory environments and fostering effective governance practices that balance global stakeholder interests. Committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, I have led initiatives promoting equal opportunity within investment entities.
I welcome opportunities to contribute my combined expertise as an independent director and consultant to boards and organizations seeking strategic oversight, compliance management, and long-term value creation with a global outlook.
