Right people for the right job - for every investment
Our Executive Network (“ExecNet”) has had a profound impact on our investments transforming informal networking into a tool for strategic search of buyout talent by sector. This allows us to place leaders into newly acquired businesses who accelerate growth and identify new opportunities. It also speeds up the journey along knowledge curves and can build pipelines in new sectors. ExecNet is our foremost source of enduring competitive advantage.

Introducing best global practices
Innova Capital introduces best practices of corporate governance into newly acquired businesses. Good processes, transparency and short- and long-term planning are key elements in improving SME’s going through a growth buyout process. This is a relatively easy way to add value to a business regardless of cycle or sector. Moreover, by implementing its ESG policy Innova makes sure that its investments have a positive impact on society, the environment and performance of the business.
