Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)

Core activity or critical event, we're here to help

For some of our clients, such as private equity firms, mergers and acquisitions are fundamental to their activities; for others, an occasional event of critical importance. Whatever the scenario, Impact Executives can provide the seasoned professionals to manage the transition.

A team of talents

The talent bank of Impact Executives is rich with generalists and specialists with the variety of experience that you may seek for even the most complex of global mergers and acquisitions. We have the heavyweight CEOs as well as highly experienced professionals from marketing, finance, HR and change management backgrounds.

Frequently we will place a small team to manage the process, as in the case of the joint venture between Serco and Dutch operator NedRailways to manage the Northern Railway train operating company. Here the challenges of improving punctuality and cleanliness called for additional focus brought by one of our seasoned HR and change specialists and, later, an interim head of marketing and communications to occupy an unfilled permanent role and lay firm foundations for the function.

Managing the risk

Much has been written about the failure rate of mergers and acquisitions and the difficulties in realising the theoretical benefits of combining organisations. With Impact Executives interims you are harnessing the experience of people who have had plenty of practise avoiding the pitfalls. We can also provide the right people when you need them, for as long as you need them - the most effective way to resource a project of finite length.
