Testimonials

”As the assignee of SAS Medimust, I had Jan Eryk as my contact representing Cegedim. I was particularly pleased with the clarity and probity of all our exchanges. In addition, all his pertinent advice and fine-tuning helped to clear up any remaining doubts and bring the sale to a successful conclusion. My previous experience allows me to compare the difficulty of a sale, and the one with Jan Eryk was by far the smoothest and most successful. If I ever need to sell my new company, I know a good address!"

- Alain Adam
Former CEO of SAS Medimust

”In 2022, Jan Eryk Umiastowski supported CEGEDIM in its acquisition of Médimust, a healthcare software publisher. The transaction was carried out rapidly, but with precision and professionalism. The satisfactory valuation for both parties did not require endless negotiations, and the signing of the deeds went off without a hitch. In the end, Médimust was integrated into the Cegedim group without a hitch, securing both the products and the team.
Today, Médimust is a recognized product in the CEGEDIM ecosystem, and the teams are developing new, high value-added tools that promise strong growth for CEGEDIM in its field. A successful and winning acquisition for all parties.”

- Thierry Lepinard
Co-founder & Managing Director of SAS Medimust

”Jan Eryk provided invaluable guidance and expertise while leading corporate M&A at Cegedim over the past 15 years. His strategic vision, deal execution capabilities, and dedication to securing optimal results were critical in successfully acquiring Ximantix . His professionalism and deep industry knowledge make him a tremendous asset for any company pursuing transformative M&A opportunities. I highly recommend Jan Eryk and his new M&A boutique Blueballoon Capital"
