The Sage Group and Oriundo Announce Strategic Partnership Focused on Latin America
Cambridge UK, Clinton, NJ, Mexico City, and Buenos Aires – May 2012 – The Sage Group and Oriundo (www.oriundo.biz), are pleased to announce they have formed a strategic alliance. This alliance will bring a breadth of additional experience and contacts in the healthcare and life science industry and financial sectors in Latin America to Sage clients worldwide. Latin America accounts for about 10% of the global pharmaceutical market. In turn, the alliance will bring Sage’s global experience and contact base to Oriundo’s clients in Latin America.
The Sage Group (www.sagehealthcare.com) is based in USA, Europe, Israel, Australia and Japan. Sage has specialized for nearly 20 years in strategic transactional consultancy for the pharma, biotech, medtech and diagnostics industries. Sage is focused on M&A and licensing transactions for its clients and the 9 Sage principals, based around the world, have completed more than 300 deals, with a total transaction volume in excess of US$5Bn.
Oriundo (www.oriundo.biz) is a network of highly experienced professionals offering consultancy to the pharmaceutical and above all its Business Development community for companies seeking to access Latin America, or indeed companies within Latin America seeking International partners.
Global Pharma companies based in Europe, the USA, Japan and elsewhere have often made heavy weather in Latin America by choosing the wrong partner or entry strategy, or simply turned their back on the fastest growing region, with sales close on U$50bn in 2012, and mainly in the private sector. Both Brazil and Mexico are in the top ten global markets: Brazil at rank # 5 and Mexico #10. Private sector growth stands around 10% CAGR for the last decade.
“We are very pleased to announce this 3-way alliance which will have wide ranging advantages for our global client base” said Wayne Pambianchi, Executive Director of The Sage Group. “Oriundo's strong healthcare and life science industry backgrounds and focus on Latin America will bring a strong new dimension to the services we provide our clients, and will assist in the value creation process that Sage brings to all of our clients.”
“We are delighted to be working with The Sage Group. They will be able to enhance significantly our ability to serve our Latin American clients’ business development needs on a global basis,” said Paul Doulton, Managing Partner of Oriundo.
