The leadership read

Consolidation shifts the leadership question from growth to integration. For I Squared Capital in the sector, the demand moves toward transformation and integration leaders who can merge teams, systems and cultures without losing momentum. Across Oceania, watch whether the integration is properly resourced; deals are won or lost the year after they close.

“I Squared plans to work with management to strengthen the company's market position, accelerate network digitalization and create long-term value for customers, communities and investors”
— Harsh Agrawal, Senior Partner, I Squared Capital · citybiz — regional US deals
“oOh!media represents the type of infrastructure platform we seek to invest in — a market-leading business with high-quality assets, long-term contractual foundations and attractive growth opportunities”
