What an incredible evening of insight, discussion and inspiration at the first Women's Edition of BU Connect. BU Connect is an event designed to provide a platform for female C- & Board level executives from different industries to share, network and promote each other. We started with a warm welcome from our Investment Team colleague Dr. Vanessa Schreiber, followed by an introduction to BU from Jan-Daniel Neumann, Partner and Co-Founder of BU. The evening included a fascinating presentation on the "Status Quo and the Future of AI" by Petra Ehmann, Group Chief Innovation and AI Officer at Ringier, which sparked thought-provoking conversations about the transformative role of artificial intelligence. An equally special highlight was the inspiring keynote by Evi Sachenbacher-Stehle, one of Germany's most successful cross-country skiers, an icon of German biathlon and a two-time Olympic champion, who drew powerful parallels between the world of high performance sports and leadership, reminding us all of the drive, focus and resilience required to lead successfully in today's fast-paced environment. The evening ended with closing words from our Investment Team colleague Alexandra Stagl, full of gratitude and enthusiasm for this enriching evening. We would like to thank Kristin van der Sande, Partner Global Technology and Services Practice (GTS) at Heidrick & Struggles, who supported us in organizing the event. Thank you also for the wonderful moderation of the two keynotes. Last but not least, we would like to thank Theresa Keller and Anna Kaltenberger for the great idea and realization of the event, as well as everyone who attended and contributed to its success! We look forward to continuing our dialogue and expanding our shared network. #BUConnect #Leadership #Networking #privateequity #bregalunternehmerkapital

We are excited to look back on our BU Tech Day 2024, which took place on 9 October in Vienna. This year’s event brought together CEOs, CTOs, and experts from our portfolio companies and beyond for a day packed with insightful sessions and engaging discussions. The day opened with a warm welcome from Philipp Struth, Partner at Bregal Unternehmerkapital (“BU”), followed by Norbert Heller and Dr. Stephan Schmid, who offered an investor’s perspective on the evolving software industry. The agenda featured presentations such as Christoph Bräunlich’s exploration of #AI at BSI, and Swen Niebann’s insights into product strategy in a disruptive market at BuildTec Software Group. Following a coffee break, Declan Morris, Amazon Web Services (AWS) Transformation Advisor, shared practical lessons from Splunk’s Cloud Conversion, while Theresa Keller of BU and Christopher Regenhardt of Charisma-Tec GmbH provided strategies for attracting and retaining talent in the software industry. Christopher Catterfeld of GENII Software Group gave a case study on managing near/offshoring, and Claudia Lutter of Communardo guided us through navigating the Atlassian and Communardo ecosystem. The event also provided ample opportunities for networking and exchanging ideas, encouraging participants to collaborate on solving challenges and rethink approaches to the future of technology. The day concluded with closing remarks before the group moved on to a delightful dinner, where participants continued their conversations in a relaxed setting. A big thank you to all our speakers and attendees for making BU Tech Day 2024 such an enjoyable and interesting event! #privateequity #bregalunternehmerkapital #BU #hiddenchampions
