The AZ InfoCollection joins the ELITE program of Borsa Italiana
AZ InfoCollection S.p.A. is pleased to announce an important new step in the development it has enjoyed over recent years.
Borsa Italiana has accepted the company into the ELITE program where, alongside Italy’s leading firms, it will be accompanied in a journey of growth, change and leadership.
This prestigious entry was officially announced today at the Italian Stock Exchange, in the presence of the CEO, Mr. Jerusalmi.
AZ InfoCollection S.p.A. thus joins the select group of one hundred and thirty Italian companies in the ELITE program, all of which share a strong tendency for expansion.
Antonino Restino, Chairman of the AZ Group, spoke about his satisfaction with this admission and also about the plans for growth, stating that “in the transformation from a family business to a management company, ELITE represents a milestone in the journey of cultural and organisational change”. “The many industrial, financial and organisational capabilities needed for growth and development are constantly changing” adds Carmine Evangelista, CEO of the AZ Group. “ELITE is an excellent travelling companion in helping us to understand them and grow stronger as a result.”
The Group, which has offices in Milan, Naples and Rome, has major organisational skills and many decades of experience in flexible processes and solutions. Centralisation and control of information sources, combined with a huge proprietary database, make it one of the leading players on the Italian market in the sectors where it operates, with innovative and high- performing solutions.
The licences the Group holds and its ISO 27001 certified data protection and security system (it is the first Italian company in the sector to have obtained it) are further points of strength ranging across all Group activities, which have allowed it to obtain excellent and rapidly accelerating economic and financial results.
Carmine Evangelista, CEO of AZ InfoCollection
He entered A-Zeta in 1994, just after graduating from Salerno University with a degree in Business and Economics.
He was General Manager of the company from 2006 to 2009 and took over in 2010 as CEO of AZ InfoCollection spa, a position he still holds today.
He has contributed actively to growth of the company, with constant support and focus on development in the two business areas which currently make the Group a sector leader in Italy: economic and financial profiling of potential recipients of credit services and insurance fraud, a sector in which AZ is the benchmark of the domestic market. Evangelista has also continued penetration of the holding company into the non-performing loans sector, specifically on the NPL portfolio market.
Carmine Evangelista has been Chairman and CEO of Martin&Cooper, the holding company’s new subsidiary in the debt collection sector, since 2013.
