Always up for thought-provoking and interesting talks, Stefano personally loves to have conversations with individuals about their journey: be it how they founded their business, or what drives them forward in their everyday life.
Being raised in a multilingual environment, with mixed roots from different countries, enables him to connect with entrepreneurs and investors from diverse backgrounds.
At Samira, Stefano works closely with visionary founders and experienced investors to create value and facilitate knowledge transfer. Through his past experience in VC, he is in the perfect place to unleash his full potential and make a real impact in the world of M&A for all parties involved in the transaction.
With close to two years of experience in M&A advisory across Ljubljana and Vienna, Rok has worked on sell-side and buy-side mandates with a growing focus on the European tech sector. Along the way, he has developed a real interest in innovative technologies and a deep respect for the founders behind them.
What Rok enjoys most about this work is the people. He is genuinely curious about the journeys behind the businesses he works with, and is always up for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges his thinking, whether it is with a founder explaining their vision, an investor pushing back on a thesis, or a colleague debating an approach over coffee. Having studied in two countries and earned a double degree from SEB Ljubljana and Audencia’s Grande École programme in Nantes, he feels at home connecting with people from different backgrounds and languages.A quiet drive runs underneath all of it, Rok keeps chasing the version of himself he hopes to be ten years from now, knowing he will never quite catch up, and is happy to let that keep him moving.
Outside of work, Rok plays tennis, skis, and is generally up for any kind of sport. He likes to pick up a good book, enjoys a good glass of wine, and spends as much time as he can with family and close friends.
