🌟 Recap: Inspiring Events in Frankfurt, Zurich, and Munich! 🌟 Over the past weeks, we were delighted to be part of a series of engaging events in Frankfurt, Zurich, and Munich in partnership with SS&C Intralinks. These gatherings brought together industry leaders, professionals, and change-makers to discuss insights from the latest Women in M&A study by MADiscover. 🔍 Key Highlights: * Dr. Mai Anh Dao, CEO of MADiscover, kicked off each event by presenting the study’s findings, shedding light on critical topics shaping the future of M&A. * In Frankfurt, Melanie Wiese, CFO of Deutsche Beteiligungs AG, enriched the discussion with personal anecdotes, practical tips, and career insights: "Diversity is crucial, extending beyond just gender considerations. It benefits not only individuals but the entire organization." * In Zurich, Nicole Rondy, Head of Transaction Solutions DACH at Aon, brought valuable expertise and perspectives to the conversation: "Mentors (trusted advisors over longer periods), sponsors (advocates), and coaches (task- or performance-oriented guides) are essential for career success. Not all of them need to be found through formal channels." * In Munich, we were inspired by Eileen Hügle, Director of Energy, Utilities & Infrastructure at UniCredit, who shared her unique experiences and strategies for success: "We need to start believing in ourselves more and embrace the opportunities available to us." 👏 Interactive Audience Engagement: A lively exchange with our audience made these events even more impactful, with thoughtful questions and contributions enhancing the dialogue. Thank you to all the attendees, speakers, and partners for making this series a success, especially Lorna Sheldon from Intralinks. Together, we’re driving conversations that matter. #WomenInMA #Networking #Leadership #manda

"The most exhausting day of the year!” — that was the notorious working title for the Corporate Finance event at #DealSourcing2024, hosted by FINANCE Think Tank Corporate Banking & Finance – Eine Initiative der Targecy GmbH. Fortunately, the day turned out to be far more exhilarating than exhausting! The event in Oberursel provided a fantastic setting to connect with top professionals in Private Equity, Consulting, Finance, and Corporate M&A. We had the pleasure of showcasing our AI-driven target screening solution to a house full of 900 industry experts, and the positive, engaged feedback was incredibly rewarding. It was also great to reconnect with clients and partners—always a highlight. The Rhein-Main region never disappoints. Looking forward to #DealSourcing2025 #dealsourcing #corporatefinance #dealsourcing2024
