Team of specialists in M&A - mergers & acquisitions Bulgaria

We believe that true partnerships are created from people who make each other stronger. The real test of a partnership is whether it can endure the bad times; anybody can be your partner during good times.

The construction of our management team reflects these beliefs. In our view, success in the M&A field requires the active participation of individuals with experience in large and small operating companies, academia and government, as well as private equity investing. To that end, Synergy Group has built a team, which is dedicated to its work with one goal in mind: to help our clients and partners with their knowledge, skills, and expertise in the mergers and acquisitions field.
