Private equity as enabler of entrepreneurial buyouts
dss+, carved out in 2019 as DuPont Sustainable Solutions (DSS) in an entrepreneurial management buyout supported by private equity group Gyrus Capital, consolidated its status as a global leader in operations management consulting through a number of acquisitions.
With a strong sense of purpose (“saving lives and creating a sustainable future”), a potent pitch line (“Protect. Transform. Sustain”), over 950 clients on 1,800 projects across 41 countries, a global team of 1,750 specialists, and strong organic growth across 7 core industries, the company continues to make its mark on the operations management consulting world.
Join us on 26 March at IMD for the relaunch of the Alumni Community for Entrepreneurship (ACE) to discuss the dss+ journey with two initiators of this phenomenal Private Equity-backed entrepreneurial buyout, namely Davide Vassallo, CEO of dss+, and Guy Semmens, Managing Partner of Gyrus Capital, in what promises to be a most exciting evening of entrepreneurial fun. The discussion will be led by Professor Benoit Leleux, Stephan Schmidheiny Professor of Entrepreneurship and Finance.
