Clients

PRIVATE EQUITY

When a client with interests in exploring acquisition opportunities for telecommunications suppliers/sub-contractors in Africa came to TKS with their goals, we set to work mapping out a list of target firms and determining which would be suitable matches. Working with the client and local experts, we were able to rank order the targets using primary data on each and guided the client’s decision to a very successful conclusion.

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

Intending to expand sales and operations outside the United States, this client came to TKS looking to determine where best to place a boutique additive manufacturing operation to best successfully approach foreign tier 2 aerospace and automotive firms and dip their toe into a new and lucrative regional market. Employing local industry experts, TKS helped the client develop a gravity-based model of the region’s industrial infrastructure and enabled the client to place their operation directly at the center of it.

ASSET MANAGEMENT

In support of a test project exploring application of a neural network (ANN) model of machine learning to trading strategies, our client noted a need for qualitative data that included more than simply online news and subscription services. TKS set to work acquiring a regular stream of authoritative and current qualitative data for the firm to use, allowing them to enhance the training and testing data and ultimately improve the predictive ability of their algorithm.
