Philip Ammerman

I started my career as an investment advisor and restructuring consultant in Central & Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union in 1992. In 1995, I co-founded Navigator Consulting Group, specialising in corporate finance advisory, business restructuring and corporate growth. The Web 1.0 and 2.0 booms led me into a strong specialisation in tech and ecommerce due diligence, business planning, fundraising and consulting. In parallel, I was contracted by a series of investors to implement real economy investments in industrial sectors in the CEE, FSU and MENA regions. In 2010, I co-founded our business incubator, and am actively working as a business angel and accelerator for tech sector entrepreneurs both within Navigator as well as external partners. I advise on digital marketing initiatives, tech start-ups, sectoral and corporate online marketing, and impact of social media. I have advised on over EUR 6 billion in completed investments across multiple sectors and countries. Keynote achievements include advising on one of the largest privatisations in Greece as well as over 40 major industrial investments in Ukraine, Russia and the former Soviet Union. I am currently based in Limassol, Cyprus, with frequent travel to Greece, France, England, the United States and other countries.
