Everest Group International has been serving lower and middle market Clients on an advisory or interim management basis since 1988 with over 30 Advisors located throughout the U.S. and Europe. We are a strategic-minded team of C-level operating and financial managers drawn from every functional area. When serving as Advisors and interim managers, EGI maximizes shareholder ROI in growth, transitional, or transformational situations. With our deep, hands-on operating knowledge and expertise, EGI brings a unique perspective to M&A transactions. In representing founders and owners on the sell-side and PEGs on the buy-side with bolt-on and platform acquisitions, EGI offers a multifaceted perspective rooted in personal experience owning, growing, optimizing, buying, merging, selling, and turning around companies. We are also skilled at raising debt and equity capital to facilitate transactions. In operating roles, EGI's Advisors and interim managers deliver durable, quantifiable, and value-building results. We power EBITDA and organizational performance by optimizing operations and accelerating profitable revenues. We think like entrepreneurs and have the agility to adapt to our Clients' financial circumstances. Our approach is comprehensive yet targeted because our fees are often results-based to assure a common financial symmetry with Clients. EGI also welcomes co-investment opportunities. EGI brings a global mindset based on in-country experience, delivering breakthrough results to owners, companies, PEGs, Boards, and lenders as well as clients of law or accounting firms. Our wide-ranging service offering provides bench strength to both entrepreneurial companies as well as some of the world's most distinguished investors, lenders and their portfolio companies.
