M&A Advisory

What this is about.

For most companies a transaction is the exception - and for those involved it is often the decision that stays with them longest. Which is exactly why it needs to be led in a structured way, not driven by the process.

My contribution is not to replicate a bank or a lawyer. It is the structuring support of the executive board or the owners - before, during and after the deal.

What I specifically bring.

• Strategic preparation: what is actually being sold or bought - and why is now the right moment?
• Validation of the equity story on the sell-side; realistic synergy assessment on the buy-side.
• Steering of due-diligence processes and negotiating discipline through signing and closing.
• Post-merger questions: integration, governance, and who should actually lead the combined business.

Who this is for.

• Owners preparing a sale or partial exit who want transaction certainty rather than process routine.
• Executives leading an acquisition who want a second, experienced judgement outside the bank and law-firm mandates.
• Private equity investors seeking an independent sparring partner for portfolio add-ons or exits.

My approach.

Discreet, direct, with clear separation from transaction advisors. I am not aligned with the success of a process - I am aligned with a good outcome for the client.
