OUR SERVICES

  • We make sure synergies promised in the deal room become reality. From Day 1 readiness to full integration, we drive alignment across people, processes, systems, assets and contracts.

    Our focus: speed, minimal disruption, and maximum value creation.

    Our PMI approach includes:

    • Day 1 Readiness

    • Integration Complexity Assessment

    • Integration Blueprint Development

    • Target Operating Model Design

    • Day 100 Planning

    • Integration Management Office (IMO)

  • Carve-outs are among the most complex moves in M&A, and often the main reason investors decide not to pursue a target. The perceived risks around separation, TSAs, and operational continuity can easily block a deal.

    We make these transactions possible by bringing structure, clarity, and execution power.

    Our role: to remove uncertainty, protect value, and give investors and management teams the confidence to move forward.

    Our focus: de-risking the deal and enabling a smooth transition

    Our carve-out approach includes:

    • Carve-Out Complexity Assessment

    • Separation Blueprint Design

    • Standalone Operating Model and Costing Design

    • Transitional Service Agreement (TSA) Setup & Management

    • Carve-Out Execution Management

  • After the deal closes, the real work begins. Investors and management teams are often faced with the challenge of scaling, professionalizing, or transforming a company to deliver on the investment thesis. We help accelerate this journey, translating ambition into execution.

    We work side by side with management and operational teams, bringing focus, speed, and execution power to deliver measurable results.

    Our portfolio acceleration approach includes:

    • Current & Target Operating Model Design

    • Expansion Strategy Development & Execution

    • Post-Deal Transformation

    • Performance Uplift Programs

    • Execution Support
