Länderübergreifend gibt es eine Welle von Private-Equity-Engagements bei aufstrebenden Unternehmensberatungen: In Deutschland hat unter anderem Teneo mit dem Eigentümer CVC die Finanzierungsberatung Herter & Co übernommen, EQT ist bei WTS eingestiegen, zuletzt beteiligte sich Ufenau an dem Wirtschaftsprüfer PKF WMS. Diverse bekannte PE-Player wie die DBAG, EMZ oder DPE bauen ebenfalls mit Hilfe von „Buy and Build“ mittelgroße Beratungen aus. Viele davon haben CFO-Fokus. Ein Deal, der rund ein Jahr zurückliegt, ist die Übernahme der CFO-Beratung PAS durch das US-Haus CFGI. Hinter dieser stehen die beiden Private-Equity-Größen Carlyle und CVC. Das Zusammengehen mit einem PE-finanzierten neuen Eigentümer sei eine bewusste Entscheidung gewesen, die sich ausgezahlt habe, berichtet PAS-Mitgründer Markus Groß – inzwischen Managing Partner von CFGI Deutschland – im Gespräch mit FINANCE-TV: „Wir konnten unser Wachstum seitdem noch beschleunigen, kommen auch zunehmend in große internationale Deals rein.“ Das Risiko der „Walking Assets“, das die Gefahr beschreibt, dass die zentralen „Assets“ einer Unternehmensberatung die Berater sind und diese ein Unternehmen nach einer Übernahme leicht verlassen könnten, hat Finanzinvestoren lange Zeit von Investments in Unternehmensberatungen abgehalten. Groß vertritt jedoch die Position, dass die Private-Equity-Branche gelernt habe, dieses Risiko über Beteiligungsstrukturen und Anreizsysteme zu minimieren. „Bei uns sind jetzt, ein Jahr nach der Übernahme, alle Schlüsselpersonen nach wie vor an Bord“, so Groß. Wie es sich mit PE-Gesellschaftern im Hintergrund im Beratermarkt arbeiten lässt, welche Möglichkeiten, aber auch Herausforderungen damit verbunden sind und wie genau Private Equity Unternehmenskultur und Vergütungspolitik von Beratungshäusern prägt, verrät CFGI-Deutschlandchef Markus Groß im Interview mit FINANCE-TV.

You can picture the scene - you have spent the last three months speaking to your ExCom and corporate finance team about your company's biggest acquisition to date. This will fundamentally transform the shape and operations of the company, you are raising a large equity and debt package to finance the deal, and your leaders are excited about this next stage for the company. Then, the dreaded happens - you take the call from the journalist, and they have the story. You feel weeks of planning slipping through your fingers, with limited time to respond and stakeholders panicked. We know from experience that leaking is part and parcel of the communications world. So, where exactly do they come from? And what can you do to make sure – if they do occur – you are best prepared to deal with them?

Lisen Wirén is a sustainable business leader with over 15 years of industry experience. Her extensive background includes tackling labour migration and human rights issues in South East Asia and advancing sustainability in product design and working with social entrepreneurship. Her leadership led IKEA to win the most sustainable retailer award and a nomination for Wirén for the prestigious Sustainability Manager of the Year award in the Netherlands. Key to her approach is the seamless integration of sustainability into every function and team to reach the set organizational goals. She is based in Helsingborg, Sweden. Pia Heidenmark Cook is a Senior Advisor with Teneo, working with the ESG and Sustainability team to advise clients on how to develop and operationalise sustainability strategies and the implications for reputation strategies. Prior to Teneo, Pia was the Chief Sustainability Officer for IKEA, where she led the development and implementation of the IKEA People and Planet Positive strategy. Her cross-functional team worked closely with the business on developing circular business models (including take back offers, leasing and second hand), launching new sustainable offers (such as selling solar panels across 14 markets) and helping customers to live more sustainable and healthier lives. During this time, IKEA ranked in the top three most sustainable brands and managed to decouple carbon dioxide emissions from its commercial growth across the value chain. Pia and Lisen Join Sustainable Nation to Discuss: Their co-authored book, Embedding Sustainability First steps for companies getting started with sustainability, including engaging stakeholders Tips for incorporating sustainability into each employee's day to day job and tying these actions to sustainability objectives Advice and recommendations for sustainability professionals Pia and Lisen's Final Five Questions Responses: What is one piece of advice you would give other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers? Pia: I would start by saying understanding that sustainability and working with sustainability is as much about technical competence to understand the topic and all its facets as it is about change management and understanding how to work with people and change management. Lisen: This field has become very much about reporting and that's something Pia and I have discussed quite a lot and of course that's very important and that's something that is driving sustainability and is also a wake up call for many businesses. But I would also encourage sustainability managers to try not to get too stuck in that, but to involve other relevant functions to support with the reporting so that they can still keep a strategic focus and lead the sustainability agenda. What we see is that the sustainability leader, manager, CSO, should be orchestrating the change, um, rather than getting too stuck in reporting. What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability? That Pia: That it's becoming more and more mainstream. We're still not doing enough, but most people just know that it's here to stay, it's something we need to deal with. There's levels of how deep the integration is and how far they come, but people are not questioning that the long-term direction is that companies need to deal with social and environmental issues to stay in business and be relevant. Lisen: One of the persons that we interview is a designer and she talks about that 80% of the climate footprint sits in the design stage. For me that really triggers something for me to think about the real opportunity that sits within circularity. When designers and product developers and architects and so on, when they are opening up their eyes for the possibilities of circularity and getting excited about the creativity and innovation that that requires, I think there's unlimited possibilities. What is one book you'd recommend sustainability professionals read? Pia: I would say a mix of books that paint a picture of 'why' to more CSO handbooks. Books that are more hands-on, painting the picture of the environmental challenges or the social challenges so you build that knowledge, to those where where you get practical, concrete examples from others that have done the work. I think it's a lot about recognizing different situations and learning from them to get tools to keep doing the change journey yourself. I would also recommend one of the many books by Berne Brown about leadership and personal leadership and being your authentic self. Lisen: I would go for a more action oriented solution-focused book, and that one is called Exponential Climate Solutions by Rebecka Carlsson. She's a Swedish author and she started at Singularity University and focused on different solutions that can have an exponential development. That's a very interesting, practical hands-on book with loads of examples. What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in your work? Pia: Talking to people, meeting people, listening to people. Maybe not a lot of newsletters, of course to stay updated, but really the dialogue when you listen and talk to people and learn from them. Lisen: To compliment that answer, one of the advices or suggestions that we give in the last part of the book is actually to sometimes look at what you need for yourself to keep on going, since this is not a sprint, but it's rather a marathon. You need to be able to last long as a leader, and one tool to do so can also be to sometimes zoom out from negative news and practice basically a news detox, trying to focus on the long-term positive improvements that are happening and that might not be an phone alert. Balance the negative news with some positive long-term development. Where can our listeners go to learn more about both of you and your book? Embeddingsustainability.com or our LinkedIn pages.

Phoebe and Nick are back to examine the contrasting images of Greece abroad and how they sit side by side.A few months ago, rating agencies started to restore the investment grade for Greece's sovereign debt - more than a decade after it was lost. It was a reflection of the growing confidence that markets have in the political situation, the government's policy choices and the country's prospects.However, while this has been happening, there has been growing concern about the rule of law and effectiveness of justice in Greece. There have been several debates about these issues in the European Parliament, while rights groups have also raised the alarm.The Agora spoke to Wolfango Piccoli, co-president of political risk advisory at Teneo, to discuss why investors feel they can trust Greece again and how this renewed faith can sit alongside the complaints about transparency and accountability.Useful linksGreece is investment grade again – why it matters to keep it - ESMParliament concerned about very serious threats to EU values in Greece - European Parliament press release2023 Rule of Law Report - European Commission Hosted on Acast.

The brash co-founder of the now defunct crypto hedge fund argues that most, if not all, companies eventually go bankrupt and that 3AC had a “pretty spectacular” run.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.Few crypto figures have been as vilified as Kyle Davies, the co-founder, along with Su Zhu, of crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, which imploded in mid-2022, losing $3 billion and bringing many pillars of the crypto industry down with it. Davies and Zhu have been accused of, among other things, lying about 3AC's assets as the firm was imploding, trying to borrow money when the firm was insolvent, and seeking funding from the Mafia, all of which Davies denies. But he remains unapologetic about 3AC's demise, saying most, if not all, companies eventually go bankrupt, and that 3AC had a “pretty spectacular” ten-year run. He joined Unchained to explain why he and Su Zhu were ordered to prison in Singapore for non-compliance with the liquidation proceedings, Zhu's “six weeks meditating” (in prison), where he's living now, why he and Zhu went to Bali after the bankruptcy, his $25,000-a-month fee for consulting for crypto bankruptcy exchange OPNX, his and Zhu's current work advising crypto derivatives platform OX.FUN, and what he wishes he would have done differently in terms of 3AC's wind down.

As in the past, the upcoming municipal elections in Turkey are playing a key role in shaping the country's economic policies.

From Egypt to Brussels, governments are feeling the impact of the war in Gaza following the Hamas terror attacks against Israel on October 7th. While we saw Turkey try to take on a mediating role early on, it has shifted to openly criticizing both Israel and the US, leading many to wonder if President Erdogan is making a U-turn on efforts to mend relations with Israel.
