Librus

“Dynamic companies often need more assistance and guidance than capital by itself. When Oresa acquired Librus from the previous owners, I was somewhat concerned about Oresa and its team’s impact on the company. It turned out that I gained some very valuable partners in Piotr and Erik. Not only did they represent the owners, but they have been great partners and advisors to myself and the management team. They helped us transform Librus into a real market leader in the Polish educational system”, says Marcin Kempka, CEO of Librus.

“The Oresa team in Poland supported me in developing Trinity Corporate Services to a market leader in CEE. After 7 years of hard work together, we achieved a successful exit to one of the world’s leading players in this sector”, says Tom Ravensdale, founder and former CEO of Trinity Corporate Services.
