Role-Readiness Proof / Capstone
Run a buy-side acquisition case end to end: define strategic rationale and target criteria; screen a market and shortlist targets; build standalone DCF/comps and acquisition valuation with control/synergy scenarios; conduct commercial, operational and technology diligence; quantify value-creation levers; design IMO governance, Day 1/100 and carve-out/TSA plans where relevant; develop negotiation positions and key deal terms; then deliver an IC/board memo with risks, sensitivities, disconfirming evidence and a go/no-go recommendation.
