You Just Bought A Company. Now What?

Everyone loves the chase but what happens when the ink dries on the deal and you actually own a company? In this episode, Jim sits down with Paul Stansik to pull back the curtain on how the combined deal, ops, and management teams come together in the first few weeks and months post-close. They break down what life looks like immediately after an acquisition, including setting up governance, identifying talent gaps and figuring out where the real opportunities (and risks) are hiding. Jim and Paul also hit on the softer side of what happens during the early-hold period, and the importance of curiosity, connection, and trust-building inside ParkerGale's approach to value-creation. Ever wonder what your investors are thinking about during the first few months of a new investment? Curious about what happens when diligence is over and things get real? This is the episode for you.
