Value to clients
Jean-Louis leverages his M&A expertise in professional services and IT, both on the sell side and on the buy side, as well as his personal experience of both large corporate organisations and smaller, owner-managed developing firms, to help companies attain “investor-readiness” grade, and either get ready for a liquidity event, or first go through a preparatory phase where they maximize their potential in terms of market positioning, growth and profitability. In addition, Jean-Louis’s extensive experience of multi-national and cross-cultural projects is particularly valuable in Asia-Pacific.
