Rodolfo Fracassi, founder of MainStreet Partners, has announced he will step down as CEO after more than 17 years at the helm. Since 2008, Fracassi has transformed the company from a start-up into a leading European sustainability firm with a team of over 55 professionals. He also launched the proprietary platform ESGeverything.com, now widely used by top asset managers, wealth managers, and financial institutions. Under his leadership, MainStreet Partners has achieved remarkable growth and integrated into Allfunds, one of the world’s foremost B2B WealthTech platforms.
The Board and team extend their heartfelt thanks to Rodolfo for his exceptional contribution, helping MainStreet Partners become a trusted ESG and sustainability partner for major financial institutions across Europe and beyond.
MainStreet Partners is pleased to announce that Neill Blanks will take over as CEO. With over 20 years of experience in financial services, including senior roles at Schroders and Dalton Strategic Partnership, Neill combines deep financial expertise with sustainability insight.
Since joining MainStreet Partners in 2020, Neill has played a key role in expanding the Funds Ratings business, which recently won Best Sustainability Rating Provider by Investment Week, strengthening the company’s reputation for high-quality data and robust methodology. His strategic vision and proven leadership make him well-suited to guide the firm forward.
I’m honoured to become CEO of MainStreet Partners, a company I’ve admired and been part of for the past five years. We will continue delivering trusted solutions to our clients while expanding capabilities that keep us at the forefront of sustainability solutions for the financial sector.
Neill Blanks, CEO
