Montefiore Investment accelerates its development in Spain with the appointment of Amparo Moraleda and Jorge Rioperez as Senior Advisors

Montefiore Investment, the reference investor for small and medium-size service companies, accelerates its development in Spain with the appointment of Amparo Moraleda and Jorge Rioperez as Senior Advisors from April 2026. This strengthening of the Madrid team marks a new step in Montefiore’s European expansion, following the development of its activities in Italy.

With over €5 billion of assets under management, Montefiore provides European entrepreneurs with strategic, financial, and operational expertise, supporting their growth and transformation projects through its “Focus & Growth” strategy: a strong specialization in service sectors (“Focus”) combined with a proven track record of accelerating profitable growth (“Growth”).

The firm relies on a team of over 80 professionals and invests between €20 million and €200 million in mid-market companies, supporting them in both domestic and international expansion.

Amparo Moraleda brings outstanding executive leadership and governance experience. She spent most of her career at IBM, where she held top leadership roles across Iberia and Southern Europe, before moving on to senior positions within major international groups such as Iberdrola. She has also developed a prominent board career, serving on the boards of leading global companies including CaixaBank, Airbus, Vodafone, and Maersk. She brings deep expertise in technology and institutional ecosystems in Spain.

“At Montefiore, I found a unique combination of entrepreneurial spirit, sector expertise and long-term vision. I am eager to contribute to the firm’s development in Spain by strengthening its local positioning, enhancing access to tier-one assets and management teams, and supporting the strategic development of its portfolio companies,” said Amparo Moraleda

Jorge Rioperez brings extensive expertise in Corporate Finance and M&A. He spent over 20 years at KPMG, where he built and led the Corporate Finance platform in Spain, with a strong focus on mid-market and family-owned businesses. He also held senior international responsibilities, including M&A lead for the EMEA region. Since 2022, he has continued to advise investors as a Senior Advisor.

“I am delighted to join Montefiore at such an exciting stage of its expansion in Spain. The firm has built a strong track record and a distinctive approach in the mid-market, and I look forward to contributing to the sourcing and conversion of deal flow, and supporting transaction execution while further strengthening the firm’s network across the Spanish ecosystem,” said Jorge Rioperez

Their complementary profiles represent a significant asset to accelerate Montefiore’s development in Spain.

Montefiore has already established a strong footprint in Spain through several transactions, including an investment in December 2025 in Between Group, an IT services and engineering expert, alongside its management team led by Pau Guarro. Montefiore has also carried-out meaningful acquisitions through its portfolio companies, notably European Digital Group’s partnership with Garaje de Ideas, a premium fast-growing UX and data consultancy platform in Spain in July 2024, and Koesio’s acquisition of Grupo Solitium in October 2025, the leading IT services & distribution platform for SMEs in Spain. These partnerships reflect Montefiore’s long-term pan-European strategy of backing tier-one leadership teams and scalable platforms.

“Spain represents a key pillar of Montefiore’s targeted growth strategy. Following our development in Italy, we are convinced that the buoyant Spanish market offers significant opportunities in our core sectors. The arrival of Amparo and Jorge strengthens our ability to support high-quality companies and entrepreneurs, and reflects our long-term commitment to building a leading platform in the region,” said Hugo Maillot, Managing Director at Montefiore Investment
