Piotr Serwin

At AMA International, I executed sell-side and buy-side transactions across the CEE region, including projects in cold chain logistics, IT outsourcing, and venture capital fundraising. I currently serve as a strategic advisor to Presto AB, where I analyze the Polish services market and co-develop the company’s market entry strategy through acquisitions.

Previously, as Investment Director at TenderHut, I led private equity and private debt fundraising processes, designed group-level financing and divestment strategies, supported two completed acquisitions, and executed carve-outs ahead of new investor entry, while maintaining investor and operational oversight over four portfolio companies.
