EXPERTISE

We validate opportunities through market analysis, feasibility studies, and financial modelling. Our role is to challenge assumptions, stress-test ideas, and prepare defensible cases for decision-makers and investors.

• For FC Barcelona’s global licensing and merchandising arm, Ersteberg stepped in at Chief Revenue Officer level, leading the rollout of energy drinks, signature coffee, limited ice wines, and the prestigious Jacob&Co. watch collection across European and Latin American markets.

• For an Central Asian investor, we delivered a five-year gas market penetration and investment study, producing tailored investment cases that secured committee approval.

• In the health beverages sector, we shaped the business case and financial model that secured funding for one of Europe’s most advanced kombucha production facilities.

Execution & operations

We translate strategies into reality. Whether stepping in as interim CSO, CFO, or CEO, or building and onboarding new leadership teams, Ersteberg ensures projects move from paper to practice with clear governance and contractual frameworks.

• Acting as CEO & CFO, we guided the Czech health drinks producer from concept to full operations, overseeing premises selection, supplier validation, contract negotiations, and management team build-up.

• As CSO, we led the revitalisation of a 14th-century Czech brewery, delivering a complete rebranding, five-year strategic plan, and a commercial strategy for export markets.

• From our very first assignment in 2016, we provided board-level supervision for a $410M, 370 MW CCGT clean power plant in Central Asia, supporting EPC contractor Synecta and GE Energy turbine supply.

We support scale and transactions by preparing companies for M&A, designing go-to-market strategies, and structuring strategic partnerships or licensing deals. Our focus: long-term growth and resilience.

• For an Austrian renewable fund, we conducted a market-entry study in Latvia and, together with Deloitte, led the due diligence for a 200+ MW photovoltaic portfolio acquisition, ensuring alignment with strategic and financial goals.

• In the renewables sector, our due diligence and structuring work enabled a €200M+ Austrian fund acquisition of a solar portfolio, positioning the investor for sustained expansion.

• In the beverages industry, we prepared a historic brewery for international market growth and built the commercial strategy that repositioned it as a heritage brand with global reach.

We structure our work into three pillars that cover the full journey from idea to scale — and our references across energy, beverages, heritage brands, and global licensing show how we deliver.
