Alpha Blue Ocean Group Announces the Launch of its Investment Banking Service Provider Division: ABO Transaction Advisory Services. Pierre Vannineuse Steps Down as CIO of ABO’s Investment Division to Lead ABO Transaction Advisory Services Full Time
ABO Group, a market leader in Europe for PIPE deals and complex public cross border M&As, announces the establishment of Alpha Blue Ocean Transaction Advisory Services LTD ("ABO-TAS"), a new division dedicated to offering Public Listing Advisory, Capital Raise Advisory, Non-Deal Roadshows, M&A, Management Consulting, Restructuring Advisory and other transaction advisory services.
ABO TAS is fully segregated and separate from the Alpha Blue Ocean Group’s Investment Division (which carries out the traditional investment activities of the ABO Group).
ABO Group’s investment banking services will leverage the decades of combined experience of the ABO TAS team in investment banking, Public ECM and DCM and most notably structured PIPEs and complex cross border transactions. On the consulting side, the ABO TAS team is dedicated to help businesses reach their maximum potential by capturing synergies between companies and its broad network of established relationships.
To spearhead this initiative, Pierre Vannineuse has been appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of ABO TAS. As part of this transition, he has stepped down from all roles within the Alpha Blue Ocean Group’s Investment Division, including his position as Chief Investment Officer, effective the end of 2024. Moving forward, Pierre Vannineuse will no longer be involved in the division’s daily operations, including trading and investment decisions, allowing him to fully concentrate on the expansion of ABO TAS.
ABO TAS’s Role and Mandate:
ABO TAS shall initially be engaged by the Alpha Blue Ocean Group’s Investment Division to source financing transactions. Under this mandate, ABO TAS will focus on the initial identification and execution of financing opportunities, while the Investment Division will retain full control over post-closing investment decisions (including, in particular, trading activities).
CEO Statement
“This marks an exciting new chapter for the Alpha Blue Ocean Group,” said Pierre Vannineuse, CEO of ABO TAS. “When I co-founded the group with Hugo Pingray, we envisioned transaction advisory services as a natural extension of our activities. ABO TAS will concentrate on investment banking services in M&A, reverse takeovers, restructuring, IPOs, and other advisory areas. However, we are actively exploring other lines of business, such as Lobbying, which would be a natural extension of our service profile. ABO TAS will focus on North America, Europe and Asia as part of its initial growth strategy”
Vannineuse emphasized the Alpha Blue Ocean Group’s innovative approach and first-mover advantage in its markets: “Leveraging our extensive experience, ABO TAS is poised to deliver exceptional value in this new arena. We are entering 2025 with several promising opportunities, setting the stage for a dynamic and productive year.”
Looking Ahead, Alpha Blue Ocean Group’s continued evolution reflects its commitment to innovation and adaptability in the financial sector. ABO TAS represents a strategic progression, leveraging the Group’s deep expertise to unlock new opportunities in transaction advisory services.
