NGS Global forms significant alliance with Istria Capital
NGS Global is extremely pleased to announce that we have entered into an alliance with pioneers Istria Capital, the first EU-based vehicle to invest in search funds globally.
Istria supports talented, highly committed entrepreneurs throughout their journey to acquire and grow profitable companies.
NGS Global will be providing leadership services to some of their new CEOs and executive search to their portfolio companies. We are looking forward to starting this journey with Istria founders Simon Bores Llanos and Ignacio Olavarría to help their portfolio companies through an ambitious and successful growth phase.
Simón Bores said of the alliance: “Our agreement with NGS Global is part of our ongoing effort to better serve our entrepreneurs, and reflects our people-driven approach to search fund investing. We believe that the ability to attract and retain the right talent is the single most important driver of value creation in small businesses. The partnership with NGS Global will benefit the entire search fund community by strengthening the ties with a boutique executive search and HR services firm with global presence and a strong entrepreneurial mindset that is well aligned with the search fund ethos.”
Fernando Zavala, Partner of NGS Global, said: “We are extremely excited to partner with Istria Capital. Our work in supporting the development of their young CEOs and the acquisition of exceptionally talented executive teams across their portfolio companies will provide Istria Capital and their investor group a human capital roadmap for success.“
