Technology-Driven M&A + PMI outcome Assurance

I help organizations move from deal thesis to integration reality—especially where engineering, data, AI, humanoid robotics implementation, and R&D complexity create execution risk.

Focus areas

  • Integration thesis: measurable operating plan.
  • IMO design, governance, decision rights, cadence.
  • Day-1 readiness and operational continuity.
  • Synergy realization tracking + accountability.
  • Engineering/R&D integration, technical debt triage.
  • Cross-border integration governance.
  • Change leadership and stakeholder alignment.

What breaks first: executive clarity

  • Unclear ownership and decision rights.
  • Underestimated systems coupling and technical debt.
  • Misaligned incentives and cultural integration gaps.
  • Weak cybersecurity and data governance in integration.
  • Speed in due diligence without decision-quality controls.

Integration feasibility, PMI risk, and outcome assurance.

  • Escalated Gibberish™, a pre-gate methodology for identifying low-quality or hyped information in deal narratives and synergy cases.
  • PrizRed™, a PMI risk scoring and Outcome Assurance model that links integration risk directly to valuation, governance, and long-horizon performance.
  • Actionable Risk Mitigation Strategy™, an FMEA-inspired framework for proactively mitigating AI-driven integration risk across the recurring integration risk categories.

 

I support C-suite across the full 9-phase M&A lifecycle: 

  1. Strategy & Deal Development
  2. Target Selection
  3. Due Diligence
  4. Valuations & Deal Economics
  5. Negotiations & Deal Structuring
  6. Shareholder / Board Approval
  7. Antitrust / Regulatory Approval
  8. Deal Signing & Closing
  9. Post-Merger Integration & PMI Outcome Assurance


At every phase, my role is to bring a systems-thinking integration lens: What will this do to the AI-driven technology landscape, the organization, the regulatory posture, and ultimately the ability to deliver the strategic goal of the deal? 

Proactive prioritization on mitigating potential Integration risks

1. Strategy & Deal Development
Key question:
Are we pursuing the right kinds of deals, given our technology, culture, and capacity to integrate?


2. Target Selection
Key question:
Which targets are not only strategic fits, but realistically integrable?


3. Due Diligence
Key question:
What will it really take to integrate this AI acquisition, and what are the integration red flags?


4. Valuations & Deal Economics
Key question:
Do our valuations and synergy cases reflect the real integration difficulty and risk?


5. Negotiations & Deal Structuring
Key question:
Are we structuring the deal in a way that makes integration easier—or harder?


6. Shareholder / Board Approval
Key question:
Does the board (and, if needed, shareholders) clearly understand integration risk and readiness?


7. Antitrust / Regulatory Approval
Key question:
How do regulatory remedies and constraints change our integration plan and risk profile?


8. Deal Signing & Closing
Key question:
Are we truly ready for Day-1 and the first 100 days of integration?

 

9. Post-Merger Integration & PMI Outcome Assurance
Key question:
Are we actually delivering the promised value—and catching risks before they show up in the numbers?
