Every investment thesis is convincing in the investment committee. What decides the return is what happens after closing: who owns the value creation plan, which three things get done first, and how quickly the organisation stops waiting and starts executing.
That is what this evening is built around. No conference programme, no sponsor booths, no bag of brochures. This event brings together in Madrid the people who underwrite the thesis and the people who have to deliver it, and it opens with insights from three of the sharpest voices in Spanish private equity. From there it becomes a working conversation participants share how the same first hundred days played out on their own deals.
The evening is hosted jointly by mandaco, the independent platform behind M&A REVIEW and the German M&A community, and Fintalent.com, the talent and execution partner for private equity and corporate M&A. Together we bring two groups into the same room that rarely meet: the people who own the value creation plan, and the people who have to deliver it.
Portfolio company leadership
CEOs, CFOs and transformation leads of private-equity-backed companies — the people who have to turn a value creation plan into results.
Operating Partners
Portfolio operations and value creation teams who set the agenda for the first hundred days — and stay accountable for it.
Corporate M&A
Heads of M&A, Corporate Development and post-merger integration from corporates buying in the region.
Private Equity
Partners and Investment Directors from local and pan-European funds — the people who underwrote the thesis.
