Biography

Gennaro de Novellis is an Assistant Professor of Practice of Finance at SDA Bocconi School of Management.

His research focuses on asset and risk management, syndicated and leveraged lending, sustainable finance, credit risk, and systemic risk. He is currently conducting research on the identification of credit and systemic risk in the leveraged loan market, interconnectedness in the green loan and sustainability-linked loan markets, the relationship between ESG washing and banks’ ESG reputational exposure, and the characteristics that drive the transition from ESG washing to more vocal ESG engagement. At SDA Bocconi, he is involved in teaching and research activities, serves as Scientific Director of the Chief Investment Officer Program, and collaborates with leading companies, financial institutions, and industry associations on topics related to banking and finance.

Gennaro holds an M.Sc. in Finance and Quantitative Methods for Economics, earned with honors in 2018, and a Ph.D. in Economics – Quantitative Methods for Economics, completed in 2023, both from the University of Perugia.

Before pursuing his Ph.D., he worked as a Risk Manager at Eurizon Capital SA in Luxembourg.
