The transformation team focuses on value creation and operational deal services both pre and post-transaction. The practice works with corporates, financial institutions and private equity firms. 

“I am very excited to be joining Eight Advisory to be part of their impressive growth story. Of course I was attracted by the growth prospects but also by their integrated client offering and agile, responsive approach to the market,” noted Neil-Boss.
