Every deal looks great on paper — until the people challenges show up post-close.
In this episode, I sit down with Rey Ramirez, Founder of Thrive HR Consulting and veteran of Cisco, Deloitte, and Cognizant, to uncover one of the biggest hidden risks in M&A: employee relations issues that erupt after acquiring smaller businesses.
We explore why top talent sometimes falters after a deal, how culture clashes derail value, and what leaders can do before close to prevent it.
Essential listening for HR, Corporate Development, and Private Equity professionals who want to protect deal value through people strategy.
