M&A / TRANSACTIONS

Leadership for complex IT separation and integration environments.

M&A │ Carve-Out │ Post-Merger Integration │ TSA Management
IT is one of the most complex and risk-intensive workstreams in any transaction. 
I take full responsibility for the IT dimension —
ensuring structure, continuity and delivery from day one.
Proven experience in international carve-outs, post-merger integrations and TSA environments — ensuring structured execution under high time pressure.

CHALLENGES

What makes IT so critical in transactions

KEY CHALLENGES
· IT ownership, accountability and decision rights are unclear from day one.
· Flawed carve-out or integration plans,  implementation at risk.
· TSA scope is unclear or uncontrolled.
· Contract, licence and service-provider dependencies are not fully understood.
· Internal leadership teams require experienced transaction governance and execution support.
WHAT IS AT STAKE
· Operational disruption during carve-out or integration

· Data loss, security incidents or compliance failures
· Delayed go-live or costly TSA extensions
· Loss of business continuity across critical systems
· Increased loss of control, multiple escalations - loss of confidence from Business & Stakeholders
