Elaris Circle is a private network facilitating discreet, curated introductions among accomplished individuals who value meaningful, lasting connections.
Trusted by senior executives, entrepreneurs, and other exceptional professionals, we offer a refined and confidential approach to finding the right partner.
Elaris Circle was founded by Paolo Nocco and Yuliya Feliziani, experienced professionals with a shared vision: to provide a sophisticated matchmaking service for the most discerning individuals.
Founder & Partner
Yuliya Feliziani brings a background in executive search and talent advisory, with a focus on understanding individuals beyond credentials and experience.
Her work has consistently required both analytical rigor and intuitive judgment, allowing her to recognise alignment, intent, and long-term potential with clarity and care. As a former professional chess player, she approaches her work with the same discipline and foresight – thinking several moves ahead while remaining attentive to subtle dynamics that others may overlook.
At Elaris Circle, Yuliya leads member profiling and the curation of introductions. Her approach is discreet, highly selective, and personal, shaped by a belief that meaningful connections are built on depth, not surface.
Her ability to see beyond what is presented and to translate that insight into thoughtful, well-matched introductions defines the experience of Elaris Circle.
Founder & Partner
Paolo Nocco’s professional foundation is built on the high-stakes worlds of investment banking, corporate finance, and executive search – environments where discretion, precision, and sound judgment are non-negotiable. Having advised senior leaders and entrepreneurs through critical transitions, he has developed a sharp ability to assess the intersection of ambition, character, and long-term compatibility.
His perspective is rooted in a fundamental understanding of excellence: recognizing that the most valuable networks are not built on volume, but on the uncompromising caliber of their participants.
At Elaris Circle, Paolo defines the strategic direction and oversees the rigorous member selection process. His approach is structured and uncompromising, ensuring that every individual admitted to the Circle meets a specific threshold of intent. By maintaining this high bar, he ensures that every introduction facilitated by the firm reflects a shared standard of excellence.
“The in-depth profiling session with the founders was a revelation. Unlike any other service, Elaris Circle takes the time to understand the nuances of personality and values before even suggesting a match. It’s matchmaking with the precision of executive search.”

“For someone in my position, privacy isn’t just a preference—it’s a requirement. Elaris Circle provides a discreet, offline environment where I feel completely protected. The fact that my profile is only shared with my explicit ‘okay’ makes all the difference.”
Board Member & Entrepreneur
“What I appreciate most is the curation. They don’t overwhelm you with options; they present only those rare individuals who truly align with your lifestyle. It’s a sophisticated and highly efficient way to meet people who operate at the same level.”

“Working with Paolo and Yuliya is a pleasure. Their professionalism, intuition, and commitment to excellence are evident from the first consultation. They genuinely care about finding the right fit, not just filling a mandate.”
