Our Culture

Our 7 Business Principles

Maravon offers a different kind of experience from most investment banking and management consulting firms. Far from anonymous and impersonal, it is a lively environment attracting vibrant personalities in search of challenges and thriving on intellectual leadership and accountability. One of the most visible manifestations of the firm's culture is its emphasis on understatement and professionalism. The emphasis at Maravon is on creating wealth for clients rather than displaying the firm's own.

Alongside our entrepreneurial flair is a strong client focus. Our ideas and innovations are driven by one motive: to obtain finest results for our clients. An 'obligation to dissent'-culture coupled with a commitment to state-of-the-art technology ensures that Maravon produces cutting-edge solutions.

Our clients' interests are our top priority. This is how we build long-term client relationships and why we are an advisor that companies trust with their most important financial management decisions.

Maravon is a truly international environment. Our advisors come from diverse cultures across the world and predominantly have both a high level academic degree and a practical experience background.

Maravon's culture emphasizes teamwork and a collaborative approach. As a meritocracy, Maravon recognises and rewards talent and innovation, rather than position and tenure, while encouraging training and development among its staff. At Maravon, it is not the position of the advisor within the company that decides on the virtue of an idea, neither does age, nor academic title. Simply, the best idea wins. Everybody respects each other to be as competent in her or his specialized field as her or him in his or her own one. This sovereignty is a prerequisite to work together openly and honestly as well as to spur on ourselves mutually to top performance.

1 Our clients' interests always come first. Since the world of finance will never stand still we constantly strive to anticipate the rapidly changing needs of our clients and to develop superior solutions to meet those needs. If we serve our clients well, our own success will follow.

2 Our assets are our people and reputation. As such we are dedicated to recruit talent. For us talents have the potential to make Maravon better, not just bigger. Advancement depends on merit, not status or social background.

3 We take great pride in the uncompromising integrity and professionalism of our work. This includes to comply fully with the letter and spirit of the laws, rules and ethical principles that govern us, and in addition, to be always fair competitors and to never denigrate other firms.

4 We regularly receive confidential information as part of our client relationship. For us breaching confidence or revealing sensitive information would be unthinkable.

5 We stress creativity, imagination and innovation with a view to finding better solutions to our clients' problems. Our experience shows that successful consulting teams reflect the diversity of the communities and cultures in which we operate. We therefore consider internationality, diversity and teamwork as enrichment of our day to day life.

6 We deliver the best of our firm to every client as cost effectively as we can. Our people are expected to treat clients’ and our firm’s resources as if their own resources were at stake.

7 We stay independent and able to disagree regardless of the popularity of our views.
