Beyond the Spreadsheet: The Human Side of M&A Integration with Rachel Smith | This Is M&A

Most M&A deals do not fail at signing. They fail after close. Rachel Smith, Vice President of Nota Consulting, joins This Is M&A to break down the human side of post-merger integration and why culture is revenue. Rachel has led integration efforts on multi-billion-dollar transactions, including execution on a $3.1B acquisition that delivered nearly $100M in cost savings. In this episode, she shares what actually drives post-close value creation and where leadership teams go wrong. You’ll learn: • Why culture directly impacts revenue and execution • The danger of surrounding yourself with yes-people • How to win buy-in at every level of the organization • What carve-outs teach leaders about operating under impossible deadlines • How to execute integrations without burning out your team If you are a CEO, private equity leader, or corporate development executive navigating M&A integration, carve-outs, or enterprise transformation, this conversation is for you.
