For many business owners, the decision to explore a sale or investment is shaped by a number of factors — timing, opportunity, or changing personal priorities.

What is less often considered, but equally important, is whether the advisory team leading that process has the depth of experience required to position the business effectively in front of the right buyers.

This is particularly relevant in sectors such as Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT), where value is not always immediately visible on the surface, and where buyer expectations are shaped by a combination of commercial, technical, and strategic factors.

Against this backdrop, EvolutionCBS is pleased to welcome Dolf Campman and Pradip Somaia, Partners at our sister company Regent Evolution, to the team further strengthening our capability in these areas.

Experience that reflects how buyers assess value

Both Pradip and Dolf bring extensive experience advising on complex corporate transactions, with a particular focus on TMT and technology-enabled businesses.

Pradip Somaia, a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants and Chartered Global Management Accountant, brings more than two decades of corporate finance and M&A advisory experience. His transaction track record includes advising on a number of notable deals, including the sale of BTCSoftware to HG Capital-backed Bright Group and InfoFlex to Civica. Over the course of his career, he has led more than eighty advisory assignments spanning acquisitions, divestments, business sales, funding rounds, valuations, and strategic consulting.

Dolf Campman is a senior investment banking professional with significant international experience across the TMT sector. His work spans B2B software, telecommunications, broadcasting and publishing, providing him with a broad perspective on how businesses are evaluated by both strategic acquirers and financial investors. He is particularly experienced in cross-border transactions and in supporting entrepreneurial and private equity-backed businesses through buy-and-build strategies — enabling him to identify where value can be created, and how it can be clearly articulated within a sale process.

Together, their experience reflects a deep understanding of how buyers assess risk, structure transactions, and ultimately determine value.

Strengthening capability, not increasing volume

These appointments are not about increasing the number of clients we work with. They are about strengthening the level of expertise we bring to each engagement.

At EvolutionCBS, we continue to work with a small number of clients at any one time, allowing us to provide a Low Volume Premium Guided Service built around senior leadership and sustained involvement throughout the process.

By adding further depth of experience within the TMT sector, we are better positioned to support clients operating in these sectors — particularly where transactions involve technical complexity, international considerations, or evolving buyer expectations.

Building each process around the individual business

While sector expertise is valuable, our approach remains focused on understanding each business on its own terms.

Our role is to identify specific drivers of value within each opportunity, ensure that they are clearly presented, and manage the process in a way that protects and enhances that value throughout.

This requires detailed preparation, careful positioning, and a level of involvement that extends well beyond simply bringing a business to market.

EvolutionCBS Managing Director, Mike Whittle, commented: ‘We are delighted to formally welcome Dolf and Pradip to the EvolutionCBS team. Over the past 16 years, we have remained committed to our core values of quality, integrity, and passion, underpinned by the depth of experience our team brings to every transaction. I am confident that Dolf and Pradip share this mindset and will be a valuable addition for both our colleagues and our clients.”

If a sale or investment is something you are beginning to consider, even at an early stage, gaining that perspective can be a valuable first step.
