Operating Partner and member of the Advisory Board

Jordi Llidó

What is your experience?

I have more than 30 years of experience in the field of corporate transaction advisory, mainly developed in Deloitte Spain. For 22 of these years, I have been a partner in charge of M&A and Financial Advisory, leading the automotive and manufacturing sectors. Throughout my career, I have been involved as an advisor in more than two hundred acquisitions and disposals, the incorporation of partners, both financial and industrial, as well as financing transactions. In the latter area, I was responsible for leading the Debt Advisory team from its inception.

I have had the privilege of acquiring a deep knowledge of the Spanish business fabric, especially in key sectors for the national economy. At Deloitte, I have led sectors as relevant as Automotive, Manufacturing, Industrial Products, Aerospace & Defence and Chemicals & Specialty Materials, covering both manufacturers and suppliers. I have also been the driving force behind key business initiatives such as the Iese Mobility Meeting, which focuses on mobility, and the Deloitte and Spencer Stuart Advisors Programme.

All this professional experience has allowed me to actively participate in the corporate and strategic transformation of key sectors and in the growth of medium-sized Spanish companies, accompanying them in their business transformation process through corporate operations.

With your professional experience, what can you contribute to Nazca?

My experience in mid-market corporate transactions, combined with my in-depth knowledge of sectors such as automotive and manufacturing, puts me in a privileged position to anticipate sector trends, identify opportunities and develop value creation strategies. My background includes working with private equity, industrial investors, family-owned businesses and management teams, which allows me to offer a broad vision at the service of companies, their shareholders and employees in each of the businesses in which we invest.

What ties and values connect you to Nazca?

The decision to join Nazca after a long career at Deloitte Spain is the result of my appreciation for the people who make up the Nazca team and the values they represent. My relationship with Nazca goes back to the very beginning and I have had the opportunity to observe how, for more than twenty years, they have consistently implemented investment strategies aimed at promoting the growth of the companies in which they invest, always maintaining a high level of excellence, commitment and integrity.

Nazca’s management not only drives the growth of its companies, but also incorporates the best market practices to make them more resilient, thus generating a positive impact on the economy and society.

Why would you recommend an entrepreneur partner with Nazca?

Nazca is without doubt a highly recommendable financial and strategic partner due to its reputation, commitment and ability to deliver value. Nazca’s track record supports its effectiveness in accompanying companies in their growth and expansion process, offering not only capital but also experience and knowledge in the execution of business operations. This makes it a trusted ally for entrepreneurs seeking to consolidate and scale their businesses.

What challenges must entrepreneurs take into account when considering incorporating a private equity fund?

The establishment of a private equity fund brings with it a growth-oriented and results-driven dynamic, which brings significant benefits but also challenges for entrepreneurs. It is essential to share a common strategic vision, implement and execute business plans and maintain financial discipline and rigour in all actions.

In a highly competitive business environment, the backing of a private fund can strengthen the company’s position and provide resilience to contingencies, putting entrepreneurs in a privileged position to capture market value at any time. Experience shows that these growth levers, when managed effectively, not only enable companies to become more competitive, but also better positioned for sustainable growth.
