Rivac LabsM&A Integration Manager
The value of a deal is decided as much in the integration as in the negotiation, and most acquirers underestimate how much coordination Day-1 readiness and the first 100 days actually require. This service builds and runs the integration playbook: workstream planning across systems, people, and operations, a tracked synergy model so promised savings actually materialize, and management of any transition service agreements so nothing quietly lapses. It's for acquirers and PE-backed operators who need integration to run in parallel with, not after, running the business. You get a deal that closes cleanly on paper and actually integrates on the ground, with the synergies you underwrote to actually show up in the numbers.
How We’d Approach This
A clear, staged plan — not a black box
- 1
Map both organizations' systems, teams, and dependencies to build the Day-1 readiness checklist.
- 2
Pilot the integration plan on one workstream — usually systems or a single business unit — before the full timeline starts.
- 3
Review workstream progress and synergy tracking with leadership at defined checkpoints through the 100 days.
- 4
Run full integration execution and TSA management through to close-out, with synergies tracked against the original model.
