Ludovic's father, Francesco di Castri, built his early career at the highest levels of institutional banking. He served as Founding Partner and Chief Operating Officer of Abaxbank, now part of the Credito Emiliano Group (CREDEM), and as General Manager and Vice President of Caboto Securities, where he held a senior role in the formation of what is now Banca Intesa Sanpaolo, one of Italy's largest banking groups.

He went on to build a career in corporate restructuring, operating as the executive brought in when companies face their most critical periods. Across more than three decades, spanning multiple countries and continents, he has served as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Restructuring Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chairman, and Executive Director across a wide range of industries and sectors, among many other roles and companies not listed here. By both principle and the nature of his work, Francesco has deliberately stayed away from the public eye, never seeking media attention or interviews. When a company is in distress, discretion is not optional. It is the job.

The defining mandate of his restructuring career was Wally Yachts, the Monaco-based yacht company. Brought in in 2013, Francesco served as Chairman, President, CEO, and Chief Restructuring Officer, leading the company for almost a decade. He steered it through years of operational restructuring before managing and negotiating its transition into the Ferretti Group, overseeing the entire process while founder Luca Bassani remained the face and creative force of the brand. He held the position until 2022. Growing up inside this world, years spent alongside his father, across boardrooms, industries, and continents, shaped how he thinks, how he leads, and what he demands of himself. The way Francesco operates, with precision and an unrelenting standard, is something Ludovic has always admired. It is the benchmark he holds his own work to.
