”We have set-up at AVP a dedicated offer on business development specifically designed for our portfolio companies. The objective of this “tailor made” approach is to help our companies grow by connecting them to relevant business leaders within the organizations we work with, in particular AXA/Equitable. We have shortened the sales cycle from significantly more than a year to several months on average."
