Description

JWM sources business expertise to inform decision making by potential stakeholders pre-deal and to improve returns post-deal once capital is put to work Experts may be involved in one off projects (e.g. helping with commercial DD), retained (e.g. board members) or be the main catalyst and spearhead of the deal The range of expertise sought is limitless, but often includes track record for value creation, industry contacts and professional or academic skill-set across specific sub-sectors, geographies and stages of growth. Consideration for fit also key (e.g. team culture, independence and diversity to avoid groupthink and enhance team outputs) Engaged by private equity firms, VCs, companies looking to raise funds (equity and debt) and advisers to source expertise to leverage prior to (and typically beyond) a corporate transaction Operating on a success-only basis, either as a % of compensation or on a flat fee, depending on the complexity of the situation (i.e. lots of variables more likely to be a flat fee) To leverage our added-value JWM reinvests fees into clients or take fees directly in new stock, depending on the type of deal and client preference JWM's service allows clients to convert more opportunities into executed deals through having access to deep expertise to inform initial views / shape approach. This can be critical to success (especially in competitive situations to differentiate). Enhanced expertise across teams pre-deal also provides continuity, with experts we source often taking ownership of implementing / executing post-deal strategy, on behalf of incoming investors *** Donating 10% of JWM revenues to charity until at least 2023 (our default charity is Polish Humanitarian Action) Background prior to JWM - Investment banker leading on corporate transactions for 11 yrs across IPOs and M&A - Broad experience across all sectors (reflecting a diverse client base) - Chartered accountant (ACA with KPMG)
