RedBird Capital Partners founder Gerry Cardinale will be able to rely on his right-hand man Alec Scheiner in the new AC Milan project.
Cardinale presented himself to the media at Casa Milan officially yesterday with big promises and ambitions about taking the club to the next level.
RedBird will continue the work of Elliott. In fact, the hedge fund will remain with a few seats in the Board as they keep significant minority shares.
La Gazzetta dello Sport discussed the AC Milan project with Gerry Cardinale (read here). Then, they shed light on an important figure who will play a key role.
We are talking about Alec Scheiner who is the managing partner of RedBird. Scheiner is also a trusted advisor for RedBird's founder. He is a law graduate with honors from Georgetown University, Alec began his career from the Dallas Cowboys legal department to quickly become a point of reference for the Texas NFL franchise. He is a very experienced figure who can also help even in the world of football (reportedly, he is also a member of the Toulouse board).
He can be very helpful in the construction phase of a new stadium. In the NFL, he is regarded highly due to his contribution to the construction of Cowboys stadium, a state-of-the-art project worth 1.3 billion dollars, then replicated by several National Football League franchises, completed thanks to a mix of public and private funds, which Alec Scheiner made it all possible thanks to his relations and connections.
Alec Scheiner knows the bureaucratic obstacles and technical issues that may be presented and this is why he can be a very useful and knowledgeable person in the board of directors at Casa Milan. Italy is not the same as the United States of America, but the experience and skills of Alec Scheiner are very important and should not be overlooked.
