Funds advised by Gyrus Capital acquire 40% of Consulcesi. Signed in Geneva, the closing, begins a new era for the group founded by Massimo Tortorella. Already a leader in Italy in digital services dedicated to healthcare and pharma, Consulcesi is now ready to create an international healthcare platform having recently expanded and enhanced its corporate structure.

Its experience in M&A operations will help to consolidate, on the one hand, the market leadership of Consulcesi in Italy, on the other hand, to start a process of internationalisation, especially in Europe, that will lead Consulcesi to become a global brand.
«The intent of this acquisition - says Massimo Tortorella, founder and CEO of the Consulcesi Group - will be to support the growth of the Group in order to double its turnover by 2025 to over 120 million euros, maintaining the historical profitability of over 30%».
Such objective, shared with Guy Semmens and Mirco Dilda, partners of Gyrus Capital, will be achieved through a series of M&A operations to "strengthen the continuous education proposals for health professionals and companies, together with a well-established communication and information network, which can significantly contribute to the efficiency of the national health service with direct benefits to patients".
The new Board of Directors confirms Massimo Tortorella, founder of the Consulcesi group and major shareholder, as President, Guy Semmens co-founder of Gyrus Capital as Vice-president and Andrea Tortorella as CEO.
