Permira

The RYSE team is igniting real change for young refugees in Luxembourg, equipping them with life-changing skills and tools. Through The Permira Foundation, we’re proud to support such a powerful program and to have contributed to their remarkable impact.

Last week in New York, Adinah Shackleton, Head of Sustainability at Permira, joined the New Private Markets Responsible Investment Forum for various discussions on how #sustainability drives value in the private markets.    The first panel, moderated by Aditya Vikram of UNPRI, explored the challenges GPs face in approaching sustainability as a strategic value driver, the importance of this integration into a portfolio, and numerous successful case studies in the #privatemarkets. Adinah also participated in a workshop on our approach to valuing carbon as part of the climate working group of the Sustainable Markets Initiative PE Taskforce. 

Delighted to share the news of the merger of Permira-backed PharmaCord and Mercalis, creating one of the largest and most trusted independent patient solutions providers to the biopharmaceutical industry. By combining PharmaCord’s expertise in patient services with Mercalis’s advanced technology infrastructure, experienced commercial team, and fully integrated market access offerings, the merger will help to enhance the patient experiences by improving access and affordability while addressing the complex challenges of adherence and retention, particularly for specialty medications. Congratulations to both teams on this milestone!

“We’ve always been a growth-centric, growth at scale, private equity firm. It’s not exclusively tech, but tech — and I mean digital across the board — is the predominant share of all that market, so very naturally during the firm’s 40-year history we’ve become very tech-centric. The way we phrase it is that we have this core digital backbone that goes through all of our strategies.” ICYMI: In a recent interview with TechCrunch, Brian Ruder spoke about the advantages of a co-leadership model, AI and how the firm's 40 years of technology investing experience serves as a 'digital backbone' across all five sectors we back. https://lnkd.in/ggPeuFNc

"The best advice I was given was to become a perpetual student. Through my career experience, one thing that has stayed true is lifelong learning," says Raj Patel, former Genesys Multicloud CTO and Permira Executive in Residence (EiR). We sat down with Raj to learn what drew him to Permira, reflect on his 30+ years in the technology industry, and share the key qualities CTOs need in today's evolving tech landscape.
