There’s a lot of travel going on this time of year so it’s an apt time to look at back at what’s been a busy year in the travel industry for private equity and some of the trends shaping that dynamic.
Next we have a new entry in our Dealmakers to Watch series, as we profile David von Rosen, founder and head of family office Vonrosen.
We finish on a new deal, where Trilantic Europe and CDP Equity have bought control of an Italian agritech company.
