In the world of strategic commodities, few names resonate today like Raffaello Follieri visionary entrepreneur, geopolitical strategist, and now, the driving force behind Pasele Group’s meteoric rise.
Under his leadership, Pasele has not only secured its place as the most influential European rare metals company, but also redefined the global landscape of strategic resources at a time when supply chains are under pressure and governments are scrambling for sovereignty over critical raw materials.
Last week in Cannes, France, Follieri sealed a landmark €1 billion sale of 20 kg of high-grade Nickel wire to a North African military client, further solidifying Pasele’s dominance in the defense and aerospace metals market. This deal alone boosted his net worth to €12 billion, and marked a symbolic moment in the post-Russia-Ukraine war era: Europe and its allies now have a new center of rare metals power and it is led by Raffaello Follieri.
But this is not just about market control it’s about rebuilding trust, loyalty, and long-term strategy in a sector too long dominated by uncertainty.
After identifying internal misalignments, Follieri decisively acted removing former CEO Neil Archer due to a lack of loyalty and failure to deliver on promises, including unauthorized payment requests and zero product sales.Mr.Archer has been attempting to coordinate a group of illegitimate creditors and has made threats against Follieri actions currently under scrutiny. In his place, he appointed Alexander Wilkinson as Interim CEO, a leader who is now executing Follieri’s vision with energy and precision, establishing firm operational roots in Hong Kong and the UK.
Follieri has also brought together a formidable Advisory Board, chaired by the internationally respected Madame Anne Mazoyer, whose loyalty and professionalism remain pillars of the group. The board includes high-profile figures such as Dirk van Daele, Young Park, Algy Cluff, and AndrewAntonio serves solely as the Director of Pasele Ltd and not a member of the Advisory Board—a London-based, FSA-regulated financial advisor whose strategic acumen further strengthens Pasele’s financial governance.
In a move signaling both foresight and resilience, Follieri recruited Cornel Giuseppe De Donno, former Chief of Staff of the Italian Secret Service, to advise on international security and crisis management. This decision underscores Pasele’s alignment with high-stakes geopolitical trends and national interests.
Raffaello Follieri is not simply building a company he is architecting a new geopolitical reality where rare metals are recognized not just as commodities, but as instruments of national power and industrial independence.
With unmatched stock levels, elite leadership, and a long-term commitment to fair distribution, Pasele is now leading the “New Metal Order” and Raffaello Follieri is at the helm of this historic transformation.
