With a collective experience of over 50 years in the investment banking industry and more than $50 billion in completed transactions, we add value to our clients by helping them conceptualize and realize their strategic objectives applying our collective breadth of experience with singular and conflict-free commitment..
We have extensive financial advisory experience across geographies, industries and types of clients. Nevertheless, our experience has enabled us to develop certain areas of particular expertise and comparative advantage:
- We have extensive experience advising large privately-or-closely-held family groups and companies led by owner-entrepreneurs. We regularly help clients within this profile both pursue aggressive expansion strategies or implement orderly succession planning strategies. This experience has allowed us to acquire a particular understanding of the decision-making dynamics of these business leaders. We also understand how to identify and solve transaction challenges that arise when this client base is engaged in transactions with broadly-held corporations run by professional management teams.
- Our team has unique knowledge of European and Latin American markets and a broad network of relationships that strengthen our execution capabilities in those geographies.
Our main competency and source of value added is in applying our strategic insights and M&A execution skills. We have a proven track record of doing so successfully for clients that cover a broad array of industries including telecommunications, retail, media, financial services, consumer products, gaming, basic industries and business services, among others.
As our track record demonstrates, our firm is structured in a way that enables us to advise our clients on transactions in a wide range of value. We dedicate ourselves with the same rigor and commitment to every transaction we advise on, regardless of its size.
We are proud of the prestigious roster of clients that have trusted us with many important strategic initiatives. Athelera has completed assignments with a total value of approximately US$ 8 billion representing such clients as IBM, Grupo Cisneros, Havas, Grupo Prisa, Tata Consultancy Services, Digitel, Media Planning Group, Puig Beauty & Fashion Group, and Grupo Planeta.
We are honored to invest in the future of children and youth in Latin America and New York through our partnership with Genesis Foundation in Colombia and Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City.
