From Analyst to Partner

“Whenever the moment came that I was thinking about a new path, I was offered an interesting alternative here to take on more responsibility and grow.”

From Strategic Consultant to Vice President

“I have been on the team for over a decade. I support medium-sized businesses in company acquisitions or even sales – in the DACH region and cross-border – in moments that change companies and entrepreneurs alike. Seeing how I can accompany founders to their destination is a great feeling.”

Vice President

“The change was easy for me: convincing interviews and an M&A consultancy with an international network that has been successful for decades. True team spirit characterizes our collaboration.”

“At Pava, team spirit isn’t just a buzzword – it’s a lived experience, full of humor and genuine collaboration. Every morning, I looked forward to coming to work, knowing I’d be able to laugh, learn, and contribute meaningfully.

The learning environment is consistently constructive. Whenever possible, you’re encouraged to explore your own creative solutions. With patience and enthusiasm, you begin to see how theory and M&A practice align – and where they diverge.

Outside of work, Pava offers plenty of opportunities to connect and unwind. From company runs and summer parties to weekly volleyball matches, these moments created lasting memories, friendships, and snapshots I’ll always treasure.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire team – working with you was truly inspiring!”

June 2025 – August 2025

“My four months at Pava have been defined by a sense of community that I have not experienced anywhere else. The projects were exciting, and I was able to contribute to many aspects of the process. A hands-on approach, whether supporting the creation of information memorandums or working on financial models, made for some of the most memorable highlights during my time here.

Throughout this period, I had excellent mentors by my side who supported and guided me through every step. Regular feedback sessions also helped me further develop my skills and make an even greater impact within the firm.

Overall, I had a thoroughly positive experience and can highly recommend spending four months or more at Pava.”

February 2025 – May 2025

“At Pava, you instantly feel like a valued member of the team from day one. The working atmosphere is not only professional, but also warm and supportive – you can tell that people enjoy working together here. During my internship, I not only learned a lot on a professional level, but also felt very comfortable on a personal level – all in all, it was a fantastic experience!”

February 2025 – April 2025

“My internship at Pava was a very instructive and interesting experience. I worked in the Leipzig office in the Strategic Consulting department for three months. I was allowed to work on various projects and initiatives, which gave me an in-depth insight into the respective industry. My task wishes were actively asked for and considered, which further expanded my already diverse wealth of experience.

In particular, I learned to appreciate the incomparable company culture. There was a strong sense of community, especially among interns and younger employees, even outside the office. I am also grateful for my time in Leipzig, a city that I had greatly underestimated in advance and that has some really beautiful aspects.

I am grateful to the whole team for my time there and can only recommend Pava as a place to do an internship!”

January 2025 – March 2025

“‘Instructive, varied and simply a good time’: that’s how I like to look back on my three-month internship.

My time was characterized by a very steep learning curve and exceptionally friendly colleagues. Thanks to the team’s many years of experience in M&A and a culture of trust, you are involved in the processes from day one and can quickly take on responsibility and learn a great deal.

I would relive this experience in a heartbeat and can wholeheartedly recommend an internship.”
