100 Days and Beyond

Today we are joined by Novica Mrdovic Vianello, an Investor in Venture Capital and Private Equity, Skilled in M&A, Corporate Venture Capital, Product Lifecycle Management, Operations & Manufacturing, CRM, R&D and Sales Management. He has gained vast experience in the industry of post-merger integrations worldwide, which makes him the perfect candidate for our episode today, where he shares stories from his point of view – his successes, lessons learnt, and how to ensure each integration succeeds throughout.

In today’s episode, our guest speaker is Angus MacGowan – a “C” level operations executive with extensive experience in advising and leading organizations through growth, complex change, transformation, and integration/M&A activities. He shares his exciting experience of how he made the jump to work within M&A by moving to the UK and how he makes the cogs turn within the merger & acquisition integration systems. Join us to hear the tremendous golden nuggets he has to share today!

Today, our prestigious guest Mukul joins us, who supports technology-centric businesses looking for growth equity within the sustainable impact space. Mukul has established a good network of founders, entrepreneurs, investors, and family offices through his track record of high-level building portfolios, raising funds, and supporting successful exits. He has experience working with KPMG in Germany, Arthur Andersen in India, and the Big4 PwC and EY in London, so we’re more than excited to hear about his experiences over the years.

We find that within the merger & acquisition world, 80% of work is carried out by the people making things happen behind the scenes – the ones who are the true unsung heroes of these integrations. Kevin Collett joins us on today’s episode from London, UK, to share his broad experience of how big companies engage in merger integration and ensure its success. Kevin shares his brilliant insights on how he keeps the numbers rotating on the receiving end of integrations. His background includes accountancy in private equity and senior finance management.

In this episode, we are joined by the prolific podcast content generator Simon Severino – he has obtained excellent life experience in the understanding and execution of post-merger integrations. In Simon’s words, “most things happen by mistake,” and trust you are in the right place if you are here. Watch as Simon leads us through the chaotic yet tremendous world of PMI and talks about how he fell in love with the philosophy of growth and time. He talks about his failures, learning curves and how businesses can succeed in their first 100 days and beyond.
