"Alexa Capital delivered best-in-class advisory over two successful transactions. Our first experience was the highly successful strategic capital raise with Panasonic and First Solar, which we never would have concluded without the Alexa Capital team’s expertise and tenacity. Our second experience was the M&A sale process to Aggreko plc, which was arguably one of the tightest, most efficient and effective run sellside processes I’ve seen – culminating in a successful contract race between buyers"
