As markets evolve and competition intensifies, governance is emerging as a critical differentiator for forward-thinking investors.<\/p>\n<p>In this episode of Humatica\u2019s Alpha Talks, Andros sits down with Michel Galeazzi, Managing Partner and Co-founder at Evoco AG, a Zurich-based mid-market buyout firm. Drawing on over two decades of experience\u2014including years at leading London-based funds\u2014Michel shares how he built a differentiated private equity strategy focused on governance, and why the old playbook is no longer fit for purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Michel offers a candid perspective on where private equity is heading:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A fragmented industry with new models beyond the classic GP structure<\/li>\n<li>Slowing liquidity and tighter M&amp;A markets<\/li>\n<li>Why multiple arbitrage is a thing of the past<\/li>\n<li>How governance and organisational design drive sustainable value<\/li>\n<li>When management teams need to evolve as companies grow<\/li>\n<li>Why rational, data-driven organisational discussions matter more than gut feeling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>He also highlights how firms like Humatica contribute to this process\u2014bringing structure, benchmarks, and a rational backbone to sensitive organisational decisions. As Michel notes, sustainable value creation now depends on open, evidence-based conversations about governance and organisational design, not just instinct or tradition.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in how leading investors are building edge through governance, people, and replicable processes, this conversation offers a clear blueprint for the future of private equity.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Watch full episode on YouTube.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"yt-core-attributed-string--link-inherit-color\" dir=\"auto\"> Guests: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"yt-core-attributed-string__list-group\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<li><span class=\"yt-core-attributed-string--link-inherit-color\" dir=\"auto\">Michel Galeazzi &#8211; Partner, <a href=\"https:\/\/evocope.com\/people\/michel-galeazzi\">Evoco<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"yt-core-attributed-string--link-inherit-color\" dir=\"auto\">Andros Payne &#8211; Managing Partner, Humatica<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> In today\u2019s private equity landscape, the classic levers of value creation are no longer enough.
