That's my advice - if anyone is listening.
'What's the problem, boss?'
This PR email, Voice. I've copied and pasted it from the PDF. 'So? What's the problem?' You don't know what the problem is?!
Oh, okay.
Let's do this then.
Keensight Capital announces exclusive agreement with Accenture for
the potential sale of Linkbynet
Keensight Capital, one of the leading private equity managers dedicated to pan-European
Growth Buyout1
investments, has announced its intent to sell its stake in Linkbynet, a leading
provider of cloud, Devops and cyber security services. This sale would take place in the context
of the proposed acquisition of the company by Accenture.
Founded in 2000, Linkbynet is a cloud-native solutions provider with offices in France, Belgium, Canada,
China, Luxembourg, Mauritius, Singapore and Vietnam. The company's team is comprised of more than
900 highly skilled professionals with 400 certifications from major cloud providers such as Amazon,
Google, Microsoft or Alibaba.
Keensight Capital, as a shareholder of Linkbynet since 2016, alongside the founders Patrick and
Stéphane Aisenberg and the management team, has supported the company's strong growth. Linkbynet
has more than doubled in size over the last five years through sustained organic growth, including
significant international development - particularly in Asia - and a successful external growth strategy,
marked by five acquisitions.
With the aim of providing Linkbynet's clients with the best possible support in their digital transformation,
Keensight Capital has supported Patrick and Stéphane Aisenberg's vision of strengthening the
consulting and cybersecurity offer, thanks to in-house developments and the acquisitions of Treeptik
(2017), Securiview (2018), Objectif Libre, Data Essential and Wise Partners (2019).
Patrick and Stéphane Aisenberg, co-founders of Linkbynet, said: "We are proud of the progress
we have made and of having become one of the leading cloud players. We are grateful to the Keensight
Capital team for having supported us financially and operationally over the last five years and for having
allowed us to start the next chapter of Linkbynet's history in the best conditions."
Philippe Crochet, Managing Partner at Keensight Capital, added: "Our journey with Linkbynet is
emblematic of the added value provided by Keensight Capital's team in supporting entrepreneurs and
implementing growth strategies. Alongside Stéphane and Patrick, we have been able to support
Linkbynet's organic development and the implementation of acquisitions enabling the company to
strengthen its consulting and cybersecurity offerings."
The acquisition requires prior consultation with the relevant works councils and approvals from the
relevant authorities and would be subject to customary closing conditions.
1 Growth Buyout: investment in profitable, private companies experiencing strong growth, in minority or majority positions, with
or without leverage, using a flexible approach tailored to the needs of individual entrepreneurs, in order to finance organic growth
projects, acquisition strategies or provide historic shareholders with liquidity.
Uh.
You see, Voice? 'Christ! That Lucky is a total bastard, boss. I don't know why you deal with him.' It wasn't Lucky. It was the PR person.
Never mind.

Anything else?
Fitness?
I might have to get heavier dumbbells later on, BUT(!) ... no, no, no. I don't want to look like The Incredible Snowman, do I?
I'll probably stick with the ones I've got.
Music?
I don't think the lyrics for Mighty Soul have got to be all that "poetic", but it might be nice. I'll see how it goes.
Oh, here's my top three list of the greatest proper rock songs so far -
[No ballads allowed!]
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Gimme Shelter
Sweet Child O' Mine
Why only three? Well, after those three songs it gets really difficult for me to decide which songs are the best. I mean, there are so many.
Laters.
