M&A Due Diligence & Integration Support

Service Description

Most M&A deals do not fail on the financial model. They fail on the people side. Cultural misalignment, retention failures, compensation inequities, and poorly integrated HR systems are among the most common, and most preventable, causes of post-merger value destruction. Yet HR due diligence remains the most consistently underprepared phase of any transaction. With direct experience leading HR integration across multiple acquisitions, including three in a single five-month window, I bring a structured, repeatable methodology to both sides of a deal. Whether you are a PE sponsor assessing a target, an acquirer building a combined organization, or a company navigating a merger with limited internal HR capacity, this engagement covers the full arc: identifying people risk before close, building the Day One plan, and executing a 100-day integration roadmap that keeps talent stable and operations running. The goal is not just a smoother close. It is an HR function positioned to drive the combined business forward from the moment the deal is done.
