Event recap

Milan, July 3, 2025 | With the opening of our Milan office, we embarked on an exciting Italian expansion journey. A milestone along the way was our exclusive event, Buy & Build 2.0: Maximizing Deal Value in the Next Wave of Deals, organized in collaboration with DLA Piper. The turnout and dynamic discussions confirmed the growing demand for digital, tech, data, and AI expertise in Italy's business landscape.

Key takeaways include:

Implement a clear 90-day playbook: Successful acquirers follow structured integration plans. It is not uncommon to evolve from a simple 25-step plan to over 100 actionable integration steps to ensure smooth transitions.
Align interests between investors & management: Ensuring that investors and leadership teams share the same objectives is crucial. Proper incentive structures drive accountability and long-term success.
Target fragmented markets: Successful platforms focus on integrating acquisitions rather than maintaining separate brands.
