Transitioning seamlessly from diligence to integration is a critical yet often overlooked challenge in M&A. In this session, Michelle Alen, Head of Integration at Block, joins Julia Rollins, Senior Director of Customer Success at DealRoom, to share how the Buyer-Led M&A™ framework bridges this gap. By fostering collaboration, transparency, and team alignment, this approach ensures deals are closed and positioned for lasting success. Gain actionable insights to modernize your process and redefine deal-making to deliver long-term growth.

Scaling M&A is a top priority for PE-backed roll-ups, but it’s often easier said than done.  These portfolio companies must combat slow, manual processes, scattered data, and limited visibility into deal progress, all while managing rapidly intensifying acquisition targets. In this session, Ian Siekman from Brenton Point Capital Partners, the PE firm behind Easton Select Group, and Thomas Dooling from Easton Select Group will share how PE firms can accelerate M&A execution and drive growth for their portfolio companies. They’ll dive into how strategic guidance, capital support, and a buyer-led approach unlock smoother integrations, clearer deal visibility, and faster scaling.

As we wrap up the Buyer-Led M&A™ Virtual Summit, Kison Patel will highlight the key insights from the day and share his final thoughts. Then, he’ll open the floor for an interactive live Q&A, where you’ll have the chance to ask your burning questions and get practical advice on implementing Buyer-Led M&A™ strategies in your deals. This is your chance to engage and walk away with actionable takeaways to drive your M&A success.
