Driving Value Through Post-Merger Integration at Scale

When a private equity–backed transportation platform set out to expand aggressively through bolt-on acquisitions, the challenge wasn’t simply finding deals—it was ensuring each acquisition could be integrated smoothly, systematically, and in a way that built sustainable enterprise value. The company needed a repeatable model for post-merger integration that could evolve in real time as the platform rapidly scaled.

We partnered with the leadership team to build that discipline from the ground up.

From the earliest stages, we worked alongside executives to establish and institutionalize a comprehensive post-merger integration capability—one that aligned operational practices, clarified decision-rights, unified teams, and created a shared language for growth. As additional acquisitions were identified, we assessed the talent portfolio and systematically upskilled the expanding operating team, ensuring the organization had the leadership and competencies required for continuous integration.

Across every deal cycle, we helped orchestrate planned integrations, close transactions, and bring acquired businesses fully into the platform. Over time, these processes shifted from “project-based” to fully embedded organizational muscle memory—empowering the company to sustain disciplined, efficient integrations long after the partnership concluded.

By the end of the engagement:

This work did more than complete transactions—it built a durable capability that will continue to generate value long into the company’s next phase of growth.
