Background

About Giovanni Esmanech

I lead SoftSolutions, an Italian fintech building electronic trading infrastructure for fixed income markets. Our two platforms serve opposite ends of the same market.XTAuctions connects primary dealers and sovereign issuers in government bond auctions — live with Banca d’Italia and bank of Spain, with active expansion into additional European sovereign markets.nexRates serves sell-side market makers across government bonds, rates, and credit. Regional champions and investment banks use it to build a differentiated market-making strategy — one that isn’t dictated by the constraints of monolithic platforms. Live clients trade across multiple fixed income asset classes today.Together the two platforms cover the full trading lifecycle: from primary issuance to secondary market making and real-time price distribution across fixed income.Before SoftSolutions I built and exited companies in industrial automation and cybersecurity across Southern Europe. That commercial background shapes how I run the business here: methodical, client-anchored, and focused on measurable outcomes.I work across Europe and I am always open to conversations with fixed income technology leaders, sovereign debt managers, and primary dealers.
