Buyer-Led M&A™ Masterclass: Designing a People Strategy that Maximizes Deal Value

Join Klint Kendrick, Senior Director of Workforce Integrations & Transitions at Walmart, for the 10th lesson in our Buyer-Led M&A™ Masterclass focused on one of the most overlooked levers of deal success: the people.

Most M&A failures aren’t due to bad strategy—they’re due to missed signals around culture and leadership. In this session, Klint breaks down how to avoid integration debt by designing a people strategy that starts well before Day 1. You’ll walk away with tactical insights you can use in your next deal—whether you're acquiring a startup or scaling a platform investment.

In this interactive session, you’ll learn:
✅ How to translate deal thesis into a targeted people strategy
✅ How to assess leadership fit using both structure and gut-feel
✅ What to look for during cultural diligence (and where to look for it)
✅ The 5 drivers of culture clash—and how to spot them before they derail your deal
