The Art of Executing Programmatic M&A
“The success of a deal comes down to the execution post-acquisition and it requires initial analysis, expectation and goal setting, due diligence, and creating a thorough integration and execution plan before the deal closes. It’s a lot of preparation, but the more you do it, the better you get.”
Yogesh Gupta
President and CEO of Progress Softwar

“As an entrepreneur, focus on the fundamentals because that's what really lasts. Trends come and go, but as a business, you need to focus on running a cash-generating, growing company year after year. That resilience is what makes a business strong, no matter what’s happening in the macro environment.”
Tianyi Jiang
CEO at AvePoint

“Whether or not you're doing concurrent deals, if you want to be efficient, especially with multiple deals, you need a playbook, and you need to stick to it.”
