Birgitta brings an operator + governance lens to roll-ups and buy-and-build platforms. She has worked as a strategist at McKinsey and as an operator at Unilever, then helped build and execute a buy-and-build strategy that involved acquiring and combining multiple companies. She now invests through a family office and holds board roles, bringing an “investment committee” decision discipline to M&A and portfolio strategy.

In this episode, Birgitta Elfversson, Non-Executive Director at Netlight, shares her experience in transforming existing staff into M&A experts.
