Overview
Find out how some of the biggest names in the industry, such as The Blackstone Group, Moderna, and HGGC, have added value to their portfolio companies, and learn how technology played a key role.
ACG & SAP are coming together for this one-day event to review important value creation strategies — straight from the executives who have created successful outcomes for their companies and those who have helped along the way.
