Leadership and cultural transformation

  • Significant transformation with separation of 87 managing directors and hiring/promoting 91, leading to a revitalized, collegial culture and higher productivity.

  • 40% of advisory managing directors are in their first three years, expected to normalize to 30%, boosting productivity by $1 million per MD.

  • Transformation executed without a downturn, maintaining growth throughout the process.

Strategic business model and market positioning

  • Advisory revenue from private capital increased from 25% in 2019 to 40%, targeting 50%.

  • Expanded offerings in fundraising, restructuring, liability management, and capital solutions.

  • M&A activity expected to rise in 2026, driven by private equity sponsors needing to return cash to LPs.

  • Restructuring and liability management to remain strong due to wider performance dispersion among companies.

Talent acquisition and global expansion

  • Systematic hiring in key sectors: consumer retail, sports media, entertainment, healthcare, and industrials.

  • Expansion in Denmark, the UK, continental Europe, and the Middle East, with strong traction in Riyadh and the Emirates.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
