How Steve is building a better working world
“The disruptive impact of technology will continue to play a huge role in the business world. In my work with clients and our teams, I focus on the future role that M&A can play in both grasping the opportunities this change creates, and managing the risks presented by technology-led disruption.
No doubt, the future is uncertain, and transactions away from a business’s core area typically bring even greater uncertainty. Successful businesses will not be those that take a ‘wait and see’ approach, but those that are being proactive in addressing the key issues that are driving rapid change in their industries.”
