About the Talk

You worked for years to build your company, and now you've closed the deal. But within weeks, key people are quitting, the buyer is pushing changes you didn't agree to, and you're stuck between your team's expectations and the investor's demands.
The deal that was supposed to set you free now feels like you've lost control, and no one warned you this would be the hard part.
Join us to get the real playbook for post-M&A integration, the strategies that separate deals that create value from deals that destroy it.
THE TALK WILL COVER:
● Why deals actually fail: The top 5 integration killers and how to spot them before they derail your deal● Your first 30 days playbook: What to expect, what to communicate, where to set boundaries, and how to manage the inevitable chaos without losing your team or your mind● The integration blueprint: Which functions to centralize vs. keep autonomous, and how to map deal synergies that actually generate value—not just PowerPoint promises● Founder survival tactics: How to protect your culture, retain key talent, delegate effectively, and position yourself for long-term success (or a clean exit) within the new structure
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Founders and CEOs of IT service companies (50+ people) considering M&A, receiving offers from holdings, or afraid of losing control post-deal.
