Partnerships as an asset
Our network is our most valuable asset. We select our partners carefully and nurture lasting relationships.
About us
Behind every agreement,
a vision.
CRISTIES was founded in Crema in 2018, drawing on its founders’ twenty years of steel construction experience. Today it combines technical expertise, discretion and a network of selected partners to turn relationships into concrete agreements.
The founder
Carolina Cristina Casiraghi
Entrepreneur and founder of CRISTIES S.r.l.
Born in Milan, Carolina has an international education. After studying law in Switzerland, she continued her studies at London Business School, developing the international perspective that would guide her entrepreneurial career.
She leads two companies specialising in steel construction and real estate brokerage. At CRISTIES, she brings legal rigour to agreements, industrial insight to partner selection and a focus on lasting relationships.
She moves between Milan and London and plays golf, a sport that, like a good negotiation, rewards patience and precision.
“Business has taught me responsibility and practicality, and above all that every decision must be guided by a vision.”
