“I had the pleasure of partnering with Dirk in our successful efforts to acquire a company from saas.group that was of strategic importance to us. I've been a part of a number of M&A discussions from many sides of the table and can objectively say that if it was Dirk who I was working with, those opportunities would have had a much better outcome. Dirk seamlessly led negotiations with an objective and consistent viewpoint and clearly articulated what was important and where flexibility was possible. This allowed us to reach a structure and valuation that we both viewed as "fair" (the best outcome for an M&A negotiation). Dirk aided in aligning his team in order to achieve an extremely efficient diligence and legal process as well as lobbying for further support to ensure a successful transition. He exuded a calming confidence that helps to keep things on track and objective (critical to arrive at a successful outcome). While divestiture was a rare event, his empathy for us shone brightly at each stage and I look forward to an opportunity to work with him and his team again. If you have the opportunity to be at the negotiating table with Dirk -you should be confident that his sole objective is to identify the path that serves all parties best both now, and in the future.”
