Altum Advisors incorporates Javier Guerra as new partner

The boutique Altum Adivsors, focused on high-level advisory services, has added Javier Guerra as a new partner to reinforce its commitment to advising private equity funds, allowing them to open new horizons in the industrial, consumer, retail and pharmaceutical sectors. Guerra's appointment is the second major hire made by Altum in recent months, after that of Sancho Peña.

Until now, Altum Advisors was very focused on private equity, asset managers and professional services firms, such as law firms, consulting firms or corporate finance boutiques.  The addition of Guerra will not only allow Altum Advisors to consolidate part of its services, but also to expand its offer to others.

Javier Guerra is a professional with extensive experience in the public and private sectors. With a degree in Economics from the University of Santiago de Compostela, an MBA from Southern California University and a PADE from IESE, he has been a manager in large industrial and consumer companies, both national and international. His business vocation has also led him to found and manage companies in the textile, real estate, consulting and audiovisual sectors. He also has worked in the Public Administration, such as the Department of Economy and Industry in the Government of Galicia, and in the vice-presidency of the Industry Commission in the Senate and in the Health and Consumption Commission in the Congress.

Pedro Herráiz and Fernando Castillo, founding partners of Altum Advisors, emphasize that “We are confident that he will help us to further strengthen our positioning in professional investor portfolios, as he can advise in first person, based on his own executive and business experience. In addition, he fits perfectly with the values and culture of the firm, as he is an excellent professional and a person who is guided by a service vocation where the understanding of the projects, the depth of the delivery and the quality of the advice are the key levers”. They also stress that he is “a very approachable person who transmits great confidence among entrepreneurs and executives from different backgrounds.”

For his part, Javier Guerra emphasizes that "methodology, rigor, respect for people and quality as a basic objective, have been the differentiating factors for my incorporation to Altum Advisors. None of this would be possible without an unbeatable team of professionals who share principles, support each other and collaborate in the processes with a transversal vision and, at the same time, taking care of the details. This is very difficult to find, and at Altum Advisors these are factors that define its very raison d'être".
