Cristina Camarero, Managing Partner of Ontier Spain, comments that “the arrival of Patricia, Jorge and Pablo significantly strengthens our already solid Corporate team, a strategic area for the firm.

In the same vein, Patricia Jaquotot, emphasizes that “my goal is to leverage the Ontier brand to position ourselves as a reference advisor in the private equity industry, especially in private equity and venture capital, where we expect a lot of movement thanks to the high level of resources available to invest and the public sector’s commitment to private equity.”
