Unique approach . . . Achieving success in global markets and cross-cultural business settings is challenging in any circumstance. When coupled with deploying large amounts of capital or dealing with a complex business opportunity, the risks of delay, failure, frustration, and wasted capital rise exponentially. At EHA we understand these dynamics and leverage our experience to position our clients efficiently and for ultimate success:

• We take a practical, results-driven approach to identify the specific activities required to reach our client's objective

• We focus on our client's objective, not the objective of preserving a client-relationship

• We provide substantive and actionable advice, along with the know-how, urgency and credibility to implement it

• We know how large companies behave, act and take decisions and, so, how to work efficiently with them

• We appreciate how entrepreneurs and SMEs value their businesses and view their markets, opportunities and threats

• We bring an engaging, authentic style that "bridges the gap" - both culturally and regionally - between current or prospective cross-border and cross-cultural relationships.

​

Unique results . . . EHA helps clients accelerate growth. Our results-orientation has contributed to completion of a complex corporate carve-out of a cardiovascular business in the EMEA region, including the establishment of an EMEA HQ and outsourcing of all warehouse/logistics and order-to-cash activities. We developed and led a post-merger integration program for a PE-sponsored transatlantic combination of three businesses. Other engagements have included helping a US-based multi-national complete the acquisition of its distributor, leading a business development project focused on a healthcare automation project in the top 5 EU markets, and assisting a private equity firm on a pan-european investment and business development strategy.
