In conversation with… Jan Kengelbach, BC Partners

BC Partners invested in Aenova – a contract development and
manufacturing organisation (CDMO) – in 2012, but when the
business floundered in 2017 from a market leading position, the
decision was taken to take the wheel and steer the ship back
towards growth. 


Kengelbach was appointed CEO and has spent the following four
years returning the company to profit through operational,
commercial and organisational change.
