Ankura Consulting Group (Ankura), a business advisory and expert services firm, has received a strategic growth commitment of USD100 million from Madison Dearborn Partners (MDP).
The commitment will be funded to support Ankura’s continued expansion as a leading, independent consulting firm focused on governance, risk, compliance and restructuring services in high-value sectors.
“Ankura has experienced tremendous success since our founding in 2014, and we are so pleased to have MDP as a partner who understands our strategy and vision for the business,” says Roger Carlile, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Ankura. “With MDP’s support, we will continue building leading positions in growing sectors by attracting and retaining the very best talent in our chosen fields, adding to our capabilities through selective transactions and fostering a culture centered on our core values of collaboration, innovation and client service.”
"As a dynamic organisation built on our core values and collaborative culture, we are well on our way to establishing ourselves as a preeminent advisory firm providing a high-touch and unique approach to serving clients,” says Philip Daddona, Co-President of Ankura. “We will continue, now with MDP’s commitment, to seek out the best talent in the industry and expand our services to stay at the forefront of a rapidly changing world.”
“Ankura sets itself apart through the expertise of our professionals, our strong culture, focus on innovation and our dedication to serving clients,” says Kevin Lavin, Co-President of Ankura. “We aspire to be not only the best service provider in our chosen sectors but also a firm with which our employees and clients are proud to associate themselves. With MDP, Ankura is even more strongly positioned to achieve our goals.”
“Ankura, with Roger and his team of highly experienced and respected executives, is very well positioned to become a true standout in its industry,” adds Vahe Dombalagian, a Managing Director at MDP and a member of the firm’s Financial & Transaction Services team. “MDP has known Roger for a long time and we are excited to start working with Ankura to support its continued expansion toward becoming a world-class consulting firm.”
