CASE STUDY
Assessing risk in a potential company purchase
The role: Board members, SPAIN
Sector: ENGINEERING
The challenge
Our client wanted to add a Spanish civil engineering company to their portfolio. If the purchase went ahead they felt they would need to strengthen the company’s board. Although the target company was large, they operated in a niche sector and our client was worried there wouldn’t be the necessary talent available. They wanted to assess this before going ahead.
What we did
- Identified and profiled senior management teams in different business functions for competitors in Spain and across Western Europe.
- Assessed the candidate’s likely depth of skills and narrowed the list down to create a target list that included candidate bios and our assessment of each.
The result for the client
- Intelligence that informed their decision to buy or not.
