Uniquely, in the history of information technology, successful wealth creation will not only require strategic expertise in the tech sector; and in the public and private capital markets. It will also depend on a creative knowledge of the European markets - those for public equity as well as for products and services. Hence my decision to form Restoration Partners – a boutique technology merchant bank for the 21st century. Our Principals possess a powerful blend of operational and corporate finance experience, gained on both sides of the Atlantic, in public and private companies and over most of the lifetime of the IT industry. At Restoration we intend to apply that expertise in combination with our creative skills, powerful network and access to capital to work with like-minded leaders to take advantage of the wealth creating power of the next big wave. If this vision excites you – whether manager, entrepreneur, investor or potential employee – we want to hear from you.
