Marco leads a wide range of investigations for corporations, financial institutions, law firms and international organizations, including internal investigations, competitive intelligence, compliance-driven third-party screenings, litigation support and asset traces. He also supports Kroll's offices worldwide in complex investigative assignments, cross-broader asset searches, white collar crimes investigations and litigation support matters.

Over the years, Marco has led multiple investigations into leaks of information relating to intellectual property. He has also managed numerous complex due diligence investigations in relation to transactions, joint ventures and executive hires, enabling clients to mitigate risks and make informed business decision.
