In May 2023, Brera announced that it plans to expand its acquisition strategy to include other team and individual sports in addition to football, which will remain its core business. Pierre Galoppi has more than thirty years of experience with strategic business and financial services across a number of industries in the mid-level capital markets segment, including natural resources, aviation, cybersecurity, telecommunications, tourism, and international marketing.
