Villani serves as President and CEO of Crown MFO Group, Multifamily Office Equity Partners, and Multifamily Office Investments, which collectively deploy over $27 billion in capital aligned with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative. He holds senior leadership roles with Saudi Crown Holdings and Saudi Crown Growth Ventures.

The executive brings experience across private equity, venture capital, artificial intelligence, and energy sectors.
