Established in 2017, Pandea now has coverage in 33 countries making it the eighth largest international M&A advisor network. Member firms have completed over 2,500 deals with a combined value over €30 billion to date.
The summit included group and break out sessions on topical themes including the macroeconomy, M&A and capital market trends across global transaction markets. Knowledge sharing on the running of corporate finance businesses including lead generation, transaction delivery and post deal marketing and network development generated significant interest.
“The presentations stimulated great insights and debate particularly around the macroeconomy and the nuances of member countries which are vital to understanding how to effect the best outcome for all our clients,” added Callum. “With over a third of all deals now taking place across borders Pandea brings together experienced advisors worldwide enabling mid-market companies to tap into a global resource.”
