We look at mergers and divestitures in a different way. We do not replace the big accounting firms, the due diligence specialists, or the corporate lawyers. We will take a long, hard look to see if the potential acquisition truly fits your strategy.
Over the past few years, the nature of mergers and acquisition activity has drastically changed. Previously, most mergers and acquisitions were the result of companies’ decisions to undertake horizontal or vertical integration. Companies wanted to team up with their competitors and enjoy economies of scale.
Recently, however, technology has transformed everything. So much so, that the motto and reasoning behind mergers and acquisitions has changed entirely.
No longer the strengthener of the underlying core business, mergers and acquisitions are now mechanisms which ensure your company does not get left behind.
In times of drastic change, temporary management may be necessary to execute urgent challenges, such as re-structuring. We work as an interim manager for your company.
From our own experience, certain situations are so complex and demanding that they cannot be performed by regular management. It is better when the incumbent management are not burdened by these tasks.
We get startups off the ground. Drawing on our extensive technical and management expertise, we love to help young entrepreneurs set up ventures.
Our mentor-mentee relationship will be based on trust, respect, open and honest communication, flexibility and understanding of other perspectives.
We mentor young executives to open new informal networks and help them enhance their visibility within their industry. Offering guidance and support, we take you through the initial investment round to bring your product to market.
