As we reflect on 2024, it has been another year of development and progress for VALOR Partners. Since the firm was established in 2011, growth has been steady, and in 2024, we saw an increase from €8.4M to €9.6M.
The beginning of 2024 started off slower than expected, but activity picked up in the second half, driven by major transformation projects and M&A advisory engagements. We welcomed new clients, saw an increase in inbound inquiries, and continued to strengthen our position in the market, with international engagements expanding our reach. Supporting our clients’ long-term success remains a key focus, as we work to build strong client relationships and focus on clients’ value creation.
One of the highlights of the year was the growth of our team across all levels. It has been rewarding to see new professionals join VALOR and contribute to our growth. The beginning of 2025 has been promising, setting a solid foundation for the year ahead.
Our commitment to delivering quality service is reflected in our NPS of 60, showing the trust and satisfaction of our clients. In addition to client work, we also focused on team culture, with various activities bringing us together — including a skiing trip for the whole VALOR team to Italy.
At VALOR, we believe that growth is a result of our long-term client cooperation. For our team, growth means that there is always room in the organization for those with the internal drive to develop their skills and take on more responsibilities. We invest in our people, expand our capabilities, and work to create a positive impact for our clients. By maintaining a strong and fair culture, recruiting and developing top talent, and focusing on delivering customer value, we believe that there is still a lot of room for growth in the coming years.
As we enter 2025, I want to thank our clients, partners, and team for their dedication and support. Looking forward to another year of successful cooperation and value creation.
