CEO & co-founder @Powell Software

Europe has many strong technology companies, but too few true platforms. Our ambition has always been to build a European leader in the digital workplace space by bringing together strong local players who share the same product vision.

Powell partnered with Cathay Capital to accelerate a European consolidation strategy in the digital workplace ecosystem.

Co-CEO & co-founder @DiliTrust

Building a European category leader requires scale across multiple markets. The opportunity in Europe is to build governance platforms that can truly serve institutions across the continent.

DiliTrust is building a pan-European legal governance platform backed by Cathay Capital, Eurazeo and Sagard.

CEO @Simpliciti

The Smart Cities market in Europe is still highly fragmented. The next phase will be about bringing together the best local champions into a truly European offering.

Simpliciti, backed by idiCo, is building a European platform for smart infrastructure and urban services.

THE WOULD-BE CONSOLIDATOR

The strategy is clear. The capital structure isn't.
