Uwe Berberich joined Boston Consulting Group’s Düsseldorf office in 2010. He is a core member of the Corporate, Finance & Strategy, Industrial Goods, and Energy practices. Uwe is also a part of the Corporate Finance task force and BCG's work in M&A and post-merger integration.
Uwe has a strong focus on corporate transactions and has worked with clients in industrial goods, health care, consumer goods, energy, and financial industries.

Prior to BCG, Uwe worked in the financial services industry for five years.
Companies need to build their “M&A muscle” across all aspects of the process, from target identification through integration.
No matter how advanced the negotiations, both buyers and sellers can take certain steps to improve deal execution. Creative thinking and agile ways of working are critical.
Companies that sell only existing shares enjoy higher total shareholder returns than those attempting to raise fresh funding—across multiple time horizons.
Some factors generally regarded as important, such as timing and the number of underwriters, appear to have little or no influence on the IPO valuation.
