D’Ornano + Co. is a pioneering global advisory firm at the intersection of strategic consulting + financial and legal due diligence. The firm recently launched Hybrid Growth Diligence (HGD), a multi-disciplinary way for asset managers to assess the intrinsic value and resilience of high-growth and disruptive assets across the full spectrum of public and private markets. These assets are shaped by megatrends including tech, decarbonization and sustainability. Evaluating these businesses requires a forward-looking assessment that understands and synthesizes the magnitude and duration of asset growth, the level of steady-state operating margin, and how much capital (both capex and capitalized expenses) is required to reach maturity. Using a holistic, proprietary methodology that combines sophisticated cross-discipline expertise with a deep understanding of over 30 verticals, D’Ornano + Co. has built a framework to assess this category of assets. This framework determines relevant financial, operational, legal, and sustainability KPIs, benchmarking growth against expected development stages and supporting asset managers’ ability to ask the right questions to uncover hidden risks and opportunities. In addition to serving clients’ M&A needs, D’Ornano + Co. also helps asset managers monitor and refine portfolio companies’ trajectories, creating more value and delivering superior results at exit. D’Ornano + Co. is headquartered in Paris, and has hubs across Europe and North America.
