Opportunity

 

A PE-backed innovation advisory firm headquartered in France sought to establish a foothold in the US and expand its presence into North America. Management and investors recognised the need for a skilled, sector-specific, global M&A advisor who could guide and accelerate their M&A process in the new geography via a targeted, high impact origination sprint.

Challenges

The client had relocated a senior team member to a nascent US office, but faced a number of challenges in scaling the operation at a pace that would move the needle for the high-growth EU-based firm, without also distracting management from maintaining the pace of existing domestic expansion:

  • Complexity in identifying firms that deployed relevant expertise with value-based propositions in specific sectors of interest
  • Barriers to connecting with owners of US-based firms, given significant inbound activities for those firms from the domestic market and perceived (ir)relevance of European-based acquirers and investors
  • Need to deploy an industrialised process of data capture and outbound comms given levels of volume and quality needed for success in high-paced, proactive, off-market deal sourcing
