Case Study: Patria strengthens M&A strategy and value creation with Aalto EE’s Mergers & Acquisitions program

Patria builds M&A capability over 100+ years of growth with Aalto EE

Patria, an international defense and technology company, had an ambitious growth strategy that relied partly on acquisitions. Erik Ahnger, Vice President of Strategy and M&A, sought new perspectives on synergy and value creation to support these upcoming growth initiatives. He turned to Aalto EE's Mergers and Acquisitions executive education program to expand his thinking and validate the company's M&A processes.

Aalto EE's program provided a solid combination of theory and practice through interactive discussions with instructors, guest speakers, and a diverse group of participants. The solution gave Ahnger valuable new ideas and, most importantly, convinced him that Patria's M&A process development was on the right track. He gained practical insights for future acquisitions, specifically on creating synergy through key competencies, and affirmed the program's value for concretely advancing his work at Patria.
