JEGI LEONIS has advised Generis on its sale to Emerald.
Founded in 2014, Generis has established itself as a leader in high-impact, peer-to-peer executive events – hosting 11 annual events across the U.S. and six in Europe. The company engages senior leaders across key verticals, including supply chain, manufacturing, packaging, digital transformation, and life sciences. Each event delivers targeted content and curated connections with high-intent purchasers that support bottom of funnel lead generation and business growth. Generis’ curated events are built around the priorities of senior executives, featuring expert-led panels, curated content, and a data-driven, proprietary one-to-one matchmaking platform that drives alignment and measurable outcomes. Generis’ differentiated model, anchored in personalized engagement and premium sponsor integration, has fueled consistent, high double-digit growth and replication across verticals.
The acquisition enhances Emerald’s existing portfolio of proven executive-level events by adding Generis’ insight-led, one-to-one meeting formats, known for delivering high-intent customers and measurable business impact, in key growth markets.
Working with JEGI LEONIS was an exceptional experience from beginning to end. Their deep sector knowledge, disciplined approach, and strong relationships across the industry gave us complete confidence throughout the process. The team combined professionalism with real insight and perseverance, keeping everything moving forward smoothly and ensuring we stayed aligned on our goals.
JEGI LEONIS guided us through a complex and dynamic environment, helped us sharpen our story, and introduced us to the most strategic partners for our future. Every detail was handled with care, and the result was a transaction that will define the next chapter of our business in the best possible way.
We are truly grateful for their partnership and proud to have trusted such an important milestone to the JEGI LEONIS team.
