Private equity trends in the DACH region
The past few months show that the PE market in Germany, Austria and Switzerland is on the move. And how.
Six trends are shaping the business right now:
1. Less debt in buy-outs
more equity, more responsibility
2. A new investor base
wealthy private individuals are moving in, institutional investors are pulling back
3. The IPO revival: exit optimism is back
Ottobock sends its regards
4. The Mittelstand in focus
solid industry instead of risky start-ups
5. ESG on the agenda
funds and portfolios have to become more sustainable
6. Digitalisation as a value driver
tech and data become the lever
What does this mean for executive search?
Demand for leaders is changing noticeably.
CFOs, deal executives, transformation leaders: the search is on for people who can act quickly, precisely and effectively in this new environment.
For us at TALENTspy, this means:
• direct access to the top 10 % of future-ready leaders, low ego and tech-savvy
