Marcin Leja, Partner and CEO at CVI, will speak on the future of private debt and private equity at “0100 Emerging Europe 2025” in Budapest. This top-tier conference brings together LPs, GPs, and industry leaders from across the CEE region, offering a valuable platform for insight and networking.

Marcin will join the panel “Next Level PE: Rise of the Buy-and-Build Strategies”, scheduled for May 15th, 10:00–10:45

Panel topics will include:

• What expansion strategy works best in certain sectors – Pros and cons of buy-and-build?
• How are firms driving value creation beyond financial engineering (integration, synergies, tech adoption, talent)?
• How can post-merger integration fail? (Integration complexity, cultural differences, client churn)
• How can firms maintain or enhance management motivation (both at the platform and add-on levels)?
• What level of integration are you prepared to execute? (Management, back office, sales, product, delivery)
• How do you create a single, unified company by the exit (one company vs. a group of companies)?
