Mergers and acquisitions aren’t just about closing deals—they’re about aligning strategy, integrating cultures, and unlocking long-term value. I’ve played a key role in multiple high-profile acquisitions, ensuring smooth transitions, operational efficiencies, and strategic growth.
💼 Lynx Technology → BT (2007)
✔️ Enhanced IT services for SMEs by successfully integrating Lynx Technology into BT.
✔️ £47M deal that strengthened BT’s technology offering and market position.
💻 Basilica Computing → BT (2007)
✔️ Critical in BT’s acquisition of Basilica, further expanding SME-focused IT solutions.
✔️ Enabled a stronger, more competitive IT service portfolio within the UK market.
🌍 Lanyon → Cvent (2016)
✔️ Instrumental in the $1.65B merger of Lanyon and Cvent, creating a global event technology powerhouse.
✔️ Backed by Vista Equity Partners, this move redefined the event technology space and positioned Cvent as an industry leader.
🔹 Strategic Integration – Ensuring that acquisitions don’t just ‘merge’ but truly enhance business capabilities.
🔹 Operational Alignment – Streamlining processes and technology to maximise post-merger efficiency.
🔹 Cultural Synergy – Bridging organisational cultures for a seamless transition and strong employee engagement.
🔹 Market Positioning – Leveraging acquisitions to expand reach, strengthen offerings, and drive growth.
A successful M&A isn’t just about numbers—it’s about ensuring the long-term success of the newly combined entity. My experience in high-value mergers proves my ability to:
✅ Drive smooth integrations
✅ Optimise business performance post-merger
✅ Create lasting value for all stakeholders
Because when acquisitions are done right, they don’t just change ownership—they transform industries.
