HTI’s strategy:
The objective of the manager and his wife, also a shareholder, was to realise their assets.
Apside’s strategy:
Apside was interested in HTI’s population of engineers, which matched the profile of its own employees and the needs of its clients.
In addition, Apside was diversifying into trading rooms, an activity that consumes engineers.
