LONDON and NEW YORK, March 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Mace Consult, a leading independent company focused on delivering impactful infrastructure and capital programs, today announced the successful completion of the majority private equity investment by Goldman Sachs Alternatives and carve-out from Mace Group.
With more than 5,500 specialist professionals operating across six continents, Mace Consult delivers certainty, working with clients from strategy through execution to deliver projects and programs on time, on budget, and on scope.
The transaction, first announced in July 2025, has now closed and establishes Mace Consult as one of the largest independent project and program consulting businesses in the world and creates a strong platform for its future. Led by CEO Davendra Dabasia, Mace Consult will retain the Mace brand and is well-positioned to scale its operations and growth around the globe.
Mace Consult CEO Davendra Dabasia said: "Today marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Mace Consult. Our partnership with Goldman Sachs Alternatives gives us the capital and strategic backing to scale our operations, particularly in North America, and to invest in digital tools that provide greater predictability, automation and control to set new standards for program and project delivery, unlocking value across the lifecycle. Our success is built on the talent and dedication of our people, who retain specialist knowledge, for whom this investment offers meaningful career growth as we expand globally."
Mace Consult prioritises outcomes and has partnered with clients on some of the world's most iconic infrastructure programs including the London 2012 Olympic Games, and is currently playing leading roles on the New Hospital Programme in the UK, Hudson Tunnel Project in New York, United States, Metrolinx's GO Expansion program in Toronto, Canada, and major programs in Saudi Arabia including Diriyah and Qiddiya.
Mace Consult was also appointed program management partner for MTR Corporation's new rail network, and the Civil Engineering and Development Department's (CEDD's) Northern Metropolis program in Hong Kong, marking the most significant wins for the business in Asia to date. Mace Consult provides its holistic suite of services to Fortune 500 clients' commercial, industrial, life science and technology portfolios.
Following years of double-digit growth, Mace Consult generated close to US$1 billion in revenue in 2025. The majority investment by GS Alternatives injects capital to accelerate growth in buoyant target markets, such as infrastructure, clean energy and climate resilience, sports and entertainment, advanced manufacturing and technology, and digital connectivity.
Jose Barreto, Partner within Private Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, added: "We are excited to partner with Mace Consult into the next phase of its growth journey. The company's entrepreneurial culture, focus on client outcomes, and commitment to excellence set it apart in the industry. We're looking forward to supporting Mace Consult as it continues to deliver enduring value for clients and communities worldwide."
Major infrastructure programs often involve dozens of organisations, thousands of decisions, and billions of dollars moving in parallel. Mace Consult manages this integration challenge through four service offerings – Strategic Advisory, Cost and Commercial Management, Program Management Office (PMO) and Planning, and Program and Project Management. This holistic service offering establishes governance and delivery frameworks that enable timely and well-informed decisions, early and pre-emptive resolution of problems, prioritisation of safety and sustainability, and active coordination between interfaces to maintain program momentum.
Now independent from Mace Group and with ownership of the Mace brand, Mace Consult is focused purely on managing delivery for clients. Mace Consult represents the best interests of clients' programs, challenging timelines, mitigating risks, holding stakeholders accountable, as a fully integrated delivery partner across the lifecycle.
Goldman Sachs Alternatives was advised by Lazard (M&A and Financing), Jefferies International Limited (M&A), and White & Case (Legal). Mace Group was advised by UBS (M&A) and Linklaters (Legal).

Die europäischen Aktienmärkte haben am Donnerstag erneut nachgegeben. Auslöser waren vor allem wieder anziehende Ölpreise und damit verbundene Konjunktursorgen. Marktteilnehmer sehen sich zwischen zwei Extremszenarien gefangen: „Zwischen der Hoffnung auf ein baldiges Kriegsende und einer weiteren Eskalation nehmen die Anleger eine neutrale Haltung ein und messen beiden Szenarien in etwa die gleiche Wahrscheinlichkeit bei“, sagte Jochen Stanzl, Chefmarktanalyst der Consorsbank. Die Verluste fielen bislang begrenzt aus, doch die Sektorrotation fiel deutlich aus.
Der Eurozonen-Leitindex Euro-Stoxx-50 lag zur Mittagszeit rund 0,6 bis 0,7 Prozent im Minus bei etwa 5.760 Punkten. In Frankfurt zeigte sich ein abweichendes Bild: Der DAX bewegte sich nur knapp um die Nulllinie und schaffte es zeitweise sogar um 0,2 Prozent ins Plus auf knapp 23.700 Punkte, nachdem er zuvor geringfügig schwächer bei rund 23.600 Zählern notiert hatte. Außerhalb der Eurozone gab der britische FTSE 100 um etwa 0,4 bis 0,5 Prozent auf gut 10.300 Punkte nach, der Schweizer SMI verlor rund 0,7 Prozent und fiel auf knapp 12.870 Punkte.
Besonders hart traf es erneut die Finanz- und zinssensiblen Sektoren. Bankaktien waren der schwächste Bereich im Markt, belastet von sich eintrübenden Konjunkturaussichten. „Am Markt wird zusehends das Risiko eingepreist, dass die Hoffnung auf kurzfristige Preisspitzen trügt und sich hohe Ölpreisnotierungen verfestigen, was ernsthafte Flurschäden für die Weltwirtschaft verursachen könnte“, sagte Timo Emden von Emden Research. CMC-Markets-Experte Andreas Lipkow verwies zudem auf „hohe Mittelabflüsse im Private-Equity-Sektor“, die zu „Liquiditätsengpässen“ führten. Immobilienwerte litten als zinssensitive Titel unter den gestiegenen Inflationsrisiken durch teure Energie. Auch Fluggesellschaften gerieten wegen höherer Kerosinkosten unter Druck: Air France-KLM etwa verlor 2,4 Prozent, bei der Lufthansa kam es zu einem Abschlag in ähnlicher Größenordnung.
Gemischt präsentierte sich der Versicherungssektor. Während die Papiere von Generali um 1,6 Prozent zulegen konnten, fielen Swiss Life um 3,3 Prozent. Analysten von JPMorgan hoben bei den Italienern die Aussagen zur Dividende positiv hervor. Beim Schweizer Versicherer dagegen sorgte der Dividendenvorschlag für Enttäuschung, zudem verwiesen Händler auf eine bereits hohe Bewertung. Gewinner der geopolitisch angespannten Lage waren Rüstungswerte: In dem Segment setzte sich eine rege Nachfrage durch, gestützt von einem überzeugenden Ausblick des italienischen Konzerns Leonardo, dessen Aktie deutlich zulegte. Öl- und Energietitel verbuchten dagegen trotz des Preisanstiegs beim Rohöl nur minimale Gewinne. Gegen den schwächeren Markttrend stachen in Frankfurt zudem Einzeltitel wie Zalando heraus: Die Aktie sprang nach Angaben von Händlern zweistellig nach oben, gestützt von besser als erwarteten Geschäftszahlen und einem angekündigten Aktienrückkaufprogramm.
