Value creation through M&A

Rethink M&A

Our fresh thinking is born from challenging everything about how mergers and acquisitions are delivered. The commonly accepted way of doing deals is wrong. Working with us will feel different to anyone else you have worked with before.

A collective of independent thinkers

The Agile Gorilla is a ‘collective' helping organisations create value through M&A.

Our collective supports organisations from small founder-owned businesses through to global blue-chip corporates. We work across all industries from media, advertising, construction, software, AI and financial services to pharmaceuticals.

For founder-led businesses our collective help deliver tactical ‘Buy & Build' acquisitions prior to exit. We help them significantly increase their growth rate, and change the valuation multiple they can expect to achieve on exit.

For larger organisations our collective help them bring corporate M&A strategies to life. We measure our value from impact not the number of PowerPoint slides created.

Organisations where members of the collective have worked in-house or delivered mandates as individual practitioners.

Gorillas are important to us. They are our fellow primates, and we believe it’s important how we treat our fellow beings. Three-quarters of primate species are in decline, and about 60 percent are currently threatened with extinction.

We chose the gorilla to represent our brand. It helps us remember that we are emotional and irrational beings that have found themselves in a dominant position on the planet. It is our ability to tell stories, develop myths and share common beliefs… allowing us to collaborate effectively in large groups.

The word ‘Humanity’ has synonyms such as compassion, brotherly love and philanthropy. We donate to the Dian Fossey fund. Please do anything you can to help.
