Sarp Vardarizi strengthens the partner group at IMAP Germany
Since the beginning of July, Sarp Vardarizi has strengthened the partner circle of IMAP M&A Consultants AG and will be responsible for the structuring and implementation of national and international sell and buy side mandates, particularly in the IndustrialTech sector.
Sarp has around 15 years of experience in M&A and corporate finance advisory. Based in Frankfurt, he will be responsible for advising mid-market companies on company sales, acquisitions and strategic transactions, particularly in the IndustrialTech sector, including companies from the fields of automation technology, electronics and cooling technology, as well as related industrial technologies. With his extensive expertise, transaction experience and far-reaching network, he will be an excellent addition to IMAP's international sector team.
Sarp Vardarizi joins IMAP from Metzler Bank, where he acted as Director and successfully set up the IndustrialTech Group. He led numerous transactions involving mid-sized companies, including the sale of UX Group to Astorg as well as the acquisitions of Duplomatic and Deltatherm by Daikin Group. Prior to that, he spent several years at Banco Santander in Frankfurt and Madrid. Further career stops include Network Corporate Finance and MCF Corporate Finance. Sarp studied Business and Electrical Engineering at TU Darmstadt and holds an MBA from the University of St. Gallen.
"We are pleased to welcome a colleague with such extensive expertise and diverse experience to our partner group. Sarp will ideally complement and strengthen our strategically important IndustrialTech sector and provide valuable momentum for the development of our business", says Ralf Mittler, Managing Partner of IMAP M&A Consultants AG.

At the start of the year, the outlook for Q1 was highly optimistic, with expectations of slowing inflation, lower interest rates, and improving growth projections. Unfortunately, we live in interesting times. Early in the year, speculation around the disruptive impact of AI on traditional SaaS business models triggered a significant revaluation in parts of the Software sector. More recently, escalation in the Middle East conflict has introduced fresh volatility – pushing oil prices higher, adding upward pressure on inflation, and creating supply-chain uncertainties. While it is too early to tell how these new shocks will eventually affect the global M&A market, we can be sure that our dealmakers around the world are on the ground every day – negotiating, re-evaluating, adjusting positions, and adapting to whatever the environment throws at them to deliver the best outcomes for their clients. They’ve done it for over 50 years, and that’s exactly what they’ll continue to do, no matter the conditions.
