MZ Launches a Value Creation Program for Private Companies

New initiative marks MZ’s 25th anniversary as a leader in investor relations

June 10, 2025 – MZ, a global leader in financial communication and technology solutions for Investor Relations, celebrates its 25th anniversary with the launch of a new program designed to help private companies create value.  Based on decades of experience working with publicly listed companies, MZ offers a structured approach to support privately held businesses in strengthening governance, improving capital structure, and expanding access to financing. The program leverages MZ’s expertise, drawing on practices that have traditionally been employed in public companies.

“MZ has always believed that transparency, governance, and strategic communication are powerful levers of value for companies listed on the stock exchange. As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, we are taking a step further by also bringing all this experience to private companies who are also seeking to grow efficiently and with market credibility”, stated Cassio Rufino, Partner and CFO of MZ.

The program provides a comprehensive set of services, including strategic diagnosis, competitive positioning and reputational review (a major lever in value management, as seen in the graph below), governance process implementation, capital structure optimization, and technology support through MZ’s platforms—already used by listed companies in more than a dozen countries.

“In an increasingly dynamic market, where the past no longer guarantees perpetuity, companies seeking to lead the future and increase shareholder returns need to transform themselves and integrate a structured program that creates value for their strategic planning,” stated PH Zabisky, CEO of MZ.

This launch comes at a time when companies face higher costs of capital due to interest rates, risk perception, regulatory uncertainties, and market changes.

“At MZ, innovation has always been part of our DNA. Today, with artificial intelligence integrated into our solutions, we deliver more than just technology: we deliver efficiency, strategic insights, and a unique customer experience. This is the future — and it has already begun.” Marcele Magalhães, Partner of MZ. 

With this initiative, MZ aims to make practices once exclusive to listed companies more accessible to private businesses, helping them become more robust and attractive to strategic investors, private equity funds, and structured financing.

“In fast-changing markets, being prepared is key for companies to seize new opportunities,” notes Amanda Munhoz, partner at MZ.

“We started 25 years ago, with a dream and a mission: to transform the way companies communicate with the market. Today, we celebrate our legacy of innovation, partnership, and trust. The best is yet to come!”, João Marin, Partner at MZ
