Editor's Notes

  1. Why do you think we didn’t get the results we were after?
  2. Can you share an example of a transaction you worked on where the management team was a critical factor for the acquirer? Why was it such an important factor? What financial tips do you have for enhancing value in advance of a possible transaction? For the Group: What have you done to engage, align, and lead? What works? What doesn’t?
