The question behind the deal

Business plans for storage platforms usually assume senior hires: a CFO before a debt raise, a delivery director before construction, a country lead for a new market. Mapping shows whether those people exist, how long they are likely to take to hire and what they may cost, before capital is committed.

Acquisitions and key people

Buying a development portfolio often means inheriting the team that built it. Mapping helps assess which individuals are critical to value and what the alternatives are if they leave, which can inform retention arrangements and price.

European market entry

SolarPower Europe reported that the top five national markets accounted for 78% of new European battery capacity installed in 2024, with Germany leading. In Italy, Terna's first MACSE auction in September 2025 awarded 10 GWh of storage capacity. Each new market creates its own competition for experienced local leadership, and mapping shows where that leadership sits.

Common questions

Can talent mapping be done confidentially during a transaction?

Yes. We design the approach to avoid signalling a transaction, and agree in advance what can and cannot be disclosed in market conversations.

How does this differ from management due diligence?

Management assessment evaluates the existing team. Talent mapping looks outward at the market. Many investors use both together.
