Going through a Successful Exit

My EXIT-story begins when I as a new co-owner set a new strategy with my partners for improvement of performance and transparency of assets for Spain-Holiday.com with an aim to appear on the radar of investors. Two years later these efforts lead to a sales process with tough negotiations, thorough due diligence process and a satisfying signing.

Jannich Friis Petersen has a background as CEO and part-owner in Spain-Holiday.com, a platform that advertised +25.000 holiday homes from Spain to more than 20 million users globally, delivering more than 300.000 bookings and enquiries yearly. In 2021 the company was successfully sold to Holidu and Jannich works as an investor and an advisor to the holiday industry within strategy, sales and online marketing.
