Lombard Global, Inc. and The Daley Group, LLC Join Forces to Deliver Comprehensive Global Expansion Advisory and Investment Banking

PLANO, Texas–(EON: Enhanced Online News)–Lombard Global www.lombardglobal.com, a Global Management and Investment Banking Consultancy based in Plano, Texas (Dallas/Fort Worth) USA, and The Daley Group, based in St. Louis, Missouri, announced the first step in collaboration leading to corporate merger.

Corporate globalization has long been an aspiration of companies worldwide, but a literal mandate to expand globally has hit a tipping point in the current economic environment, particularly in the last couple of years. As executives, however, execute this common mandate,their efforts too often focus only on market-level investments at the local level, and they fail to address how core corporate functions—Finance, Operations, HR, Research, Legal, and IT—need to adapt. Without planning and support from corporate, companies at best burden overseas operations and future global expansion with costly, unresponsive central operations. At worst, poor planning and execution lead to significant risk events, chronically low returns and potential failure. Therefore, firms should evolve their corporate center into a globalized corporate core that locates capabilities in centers of excellence around the world to support global expansion. To fully realize the rewards of global growth, the best companies should adapt and maintain a global corporate core that excels in six key disciplines:

•         Consistently communicated strategy.
•         Proven yet intuitive allocation of capital.
•         Corporate management of global talent.
•         Preventive and crisis-centered risk management.
•         Accelerated collaboration and innovation.
•         Globally aligned delivery of technology.

“We’re really excited about our expansion with The Daley Group. When helping our clients and ourselves grow overseas, we’ve learned that to make overseas operations achieve sustainable success, we’ve also got to have local enhancements and capabilities align with corporate headquarters. The senior consultants at The Daley Group significantly add to the quality of that central capability for us. While they’ve all worked for major global firms such as KPMG and Bombardier, they’ve made a name for themselves in the upper middle market with companies like Sigma. They’re based in North America and all have significant global consulting and cross border M&A experience. As a result, they provide a great complement to our global delivery leadership located overseas and to our deep bench of world-class senior advisors,” said William Billeaud, President of Lombard Global, Inc. “In the last couple of years, in particular, we’ve seen what I characterize as a ‘tipping point’ in the number of US and EU firms expanding overseas. With deep ‘hands on’ consulting experience in supply chain, leadership and operations from The Daley Group, we’re at an even better capacity to help firms grow and sustain ROIs with their overseas operations and newly acquired firms,” said Billeaud.

The Daley Group’s CEO, John Daley concurs. “We’re really excited about the relationship with Bill and the entire team at Lombard Global. The combined offerings of Lombard Global, Inc. and the Daley Group bring an emphasis on sustainable growth in global markets with the understanding of all aspects of supply chain, ERP systems, sales development and leadership coaching. We see global markets as being the opportunity of highest potential for our clients. This collaboration will bring a high level of added value to our clients.”
