How Clifford is building a better working world
"Some may think M&A is all about the financials and hard-nosed business rationale. But as deals and markets become more and more complex, it is about the people and culture. By understanding the motivations, passions and values that underpin my clients’ businesses, I am delivering a service that helps them build a better working world and a more sustainable future. The right financial and capital strategy is critically important of course, but without the right people elements the long-term value will never be optimal."
