Our current business performance is the best proof point that our strategy is paying off. With the transaction we are delivering on the ambitions lined out in our strategy: we intensify the focus on our market-leading consulting portfolio.

As an independent firm, supported by a strong owner as Nordic Capital, it will have the necessary agility and flexibility to make the best possible use of these opportunities”, says Patrick Palmgren, Global Head of the BearingPoint Capital unit under which RegTech was managed so far. “I am personally looking forward to going on that journey together with Nordic Capital and RegTech”, Patrick Palmgren concludes.
