The Post M&A Mentor: The CEO’s Playbook for Post-M&A Success

The Post-M&A Mentor - What No One Tells You About Post-M&A Success Until It’s Too Late
The deal is done. Now what?
Most CEOs, private equity firms, and investors believe that once an acquisition is complete, the hardest part is over. That’s why 65% of M&A deals fail. The financials made sense, the due diligence was airtight, and the synergies looked great on paper—but execution is where deals fall apart.
This book is your battle-tested roadmap for post-merger success, designed specifically for 8- and 9-figure business leaders who are buying, selling, or integrating companies.
If you’ve just closed a deal—or if your post-M&A integration is already going sideways—you don’t have time for trial and error.
Moe Nawaz, the trusted strategic mentor to Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 CEOs, reveals the hidden landmines of post-M&A execution that most dealmakers don’t see until it’s too late. Unlike advisors who disappear after closing, Moe specializes in what happens next—ensuring that CEOs don’t just acquire businesses, but actually turn them into long-term success stories.What You’ll Learn Inside This Book:
