On The Importance of a Good IT System

April 19, 2016 by M&A Today

The Too-Big-To-Fail Syndrome

April 13, 2016 by M&A Today

More often than not, disruptors on the verge of being successful are welcomed with snarky, down-putting comments from the sector’s leaders. Airbnb, for example, could probably write a book about this very topic… and, if they waited another 5 years or so,…

So we’ve acquired a company, now what?

January 11, 2016 by M&A Today

There’s a lot of hype about deal making… as in finding a target and negotiating a transaction to a successful closing. Unfortunately, more often than not, that’s where the project will end in the mind of an inexperienced Buyer… and, therefore, that’s also…

Double Standards in French Mergers – aka – It’s Good to be Semi-Public in the Hexagon

November 3, 2015 by M&A Today

Teva Pharmaceuticals () is no less than the world’s #1 drug company in the Generics segment. For those who still wonder, Generics, in short, are drugs made by plants others than those having developed – and patented – the active ingredient. New…

So, how exactly did you reach that valuation?

October 19, 2015 by M&A Today

Recently, as a sell-side advisor, I met with advisors of a buyer, hired after a non-binding offer had been signed.  They had reviewed all documents shared in the data room and had had a rather extensive brief from their client as to what…
