Ardian’s Post

🎙️A pleasure to sit down with Martin Gilbert for our latest episode of Enter the Boardroom. Listen here: https://lnkd.in/gE78NrB4 Martin is Chair of AssetCo plc, Revolut, Net Zero Technology Centre, Scottish Golf, Toscafund Asset Management LLP, and Co-Founder abrdn asset management. I found his thoughts around future sub-committees, high-value-high-risk employees and the support role of the board particularly interesting, along with the theme of emotion and reason in decision-making and strategy (esp. from 33:15 onwards). 🚀 Tune in to our conversation to hear Martin's answers to: - How did the board add value during Aberdeen’s organic growth? (1:45)  - How did the board help through acquisitions? (3:45)  - How have you learnt from your mistakes? (7:35)  - How did you balance instinct with analysis? (8:54)  - How does the board’s role at Revolut compare to Aberdeen? (12:19)  - Has the world become less forgiving, and what can boards do to help? (17:30) - Why do you take on roles at listed companies? (19:26)  - What value can CEO-NEDs add to boards (and vice versa)? (22:10)  - How do you identify high-risk / high-value employees? (24:49)  - What value have “future” sub-committees added? (26:18)  - How should boards manage their high-risk / high-value employees? (28:42)  - How can investment trust boards help their executive decision-makers? (33:15)  - What are the traits of the best investment trust board members? (35:44) - Do investment trusts need cult fund managers? (39:43) and  ⚡The Lightning Round ⚡(43:49) #entertheboardroom #boardofdirectors #investmenttrusts

A little over a year ago, I started thinking about starting my own business in M&A and Valuation Advisory. At the beginning, I wasn't sure whether I wanted to take this risk and whether I would really enjoy being self-employed. Now that I have been working with ALEDA Beratungs- und Beteiligungs-GmbH for six months, advising various companies on valuation, strategy and M&A issues, I am glad that I took this step: -> it pays to take risks -> you gain a lot of new experience with your own business -> it's a lot of fun to support a wide variety of companies (scale-ups, family businesses, private equity investors, etc.) with these exciting topics Many thanks to my clients from the very beginning! I look forward to the ongoing journey in the new year :-) #valuation #mergersandacquisitions #strategy #ownbusiness
