OUR NEW CHAIR
What an hectic time! Sailing in unchartered waters, new challenges, new fears, new opportunities! New business models! Demonstrated resilience will be a key analytical parameter. Everything unexpected has happened and, while the principle of precaution needed to act fast and boldly, it is unseen to witness the damages, apparent or yet to surface, provoked by this first in humankind forced halt to the economic system.

In our participations, existing and in structuration, calm has prevailed, also supported by available treasury, at least for a necessary time to pass through. The teams in place have not wasted their time, reflecting on post lockdown or improving processes or scientific and organizational supports. Few had to put staff in economic unemployment, none had to lay off staff due to covid. An important parameter for us and our eco system.

We are busy structuring several promising files that also have demonstrated their agility throughout the crisis, and reinforced, so doing, their intangible capital…

As has appeared in the press and other communication, we have enlarged our General Partnership and further strengthened our governance bodies (board, advisory, investment, compliance). It is with great enthusiasm that we have welcomed our new partners and integrated their vision on the business, and on TCD Capital’s role in our economic eco-system.
