The HEC UK Finance clubs is delighted to invite you to :
The insider perspective of Hervé Hatt, CEO of Meilleurtaux.
Leveraged Buy-Out insider story:
How to restructure a business and turn it into a European champion in Retail Fintech.
In this session, Hervé Hatt (H.86) will walk us through his experience in taking private Meilleurtaux in 2011 through an LBO with Equistone, where he first had to turn around a struggling business.
He implemented a strong restructuring program and turned the company back to profitability to sell it in a second LBO to Goldman Sachs PE's arm. He then commanded the business to a new stage of rapid growth, where Meilleurtaux was transformed into a rare European champion in the Retail Fintech sector.
Not only has the company grown impressively, but has done so in a profitable way (something very rare these days).
Recently, Hervé managed to go through a third LBO selling the company to Silver Lake in October 2020, and he will be sharing with us what new prospects and challenges await him in this new phase.
Hope you can join us to learn from this amazing successful LBO and Fintech case!
