From Silos to Synergy: Best Practices for Uniting Diligence & Integration in M&A

Camilo Franco, Director of M&A Integration and Operations and Matt Arsenault, VP of Corporate Development & Strategic Alliances at Jamf (NASDAQ: JAMF)

Too often in M&A, diligence and integration operate in separate lanes. Diligence focuses on uncovering risks, while integration is left scrambling to make everything fit once the ink is dry. It's a classic case of working in silos, and it's leaving value on the table. But there's a way to break down those barriers from the start.

In this episode of the M&A Science Podcast, Matt Arsenault, VP of Corporate Development & Strategic Alliances at Jamf, and Camilo Franco, Director of M&A Integration and Operations, show us how to transform these silos into synergy by aligning diligence and integration from day one.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Implementing a proactive buyer-led M&A strategy

• Synchronizing diligence and integration planning

• The importance of integration-led diligence

• Building and refining the integration thesis

• Collaborating with sellers to shape a seamless integration plan
