The company has shown an impressive organic growth in the recent years, while also M&A is an important pillar of the company's strategy. The focus of the M&A department in the coming years will be on acquiring more demand side platforms as well as mobile games content to further accelerate the MGI Flywheel. With its good access to capital and its 'buy, integrate, build and improve' strategy I see MGI as perfectly positioned to take advantage of the current consolidation in the media and games industry", says Sonja Lilienthal, new CIO of MGI.
