End-to-End M&A Execution: Building a Vision-Driven Approach for Lasting Value
A Talk by Mayur Bawa (Director of Finance and Independent M&A Advisor, City of Chicago)
About this Talk
Mergers and acquisitions remain one of the most powerful levers for growth—but also one of the most complex and risky. Too often, organizations focus narrowly on deal-making rather than long-term value creation. This session examines how CFOs can bring a vision-driven approach to the full M&A lifecycle—from target identification and due diligence to integration and post-deal performance. Drawing on extensive international experience, the discussion will cover the importance of cultural alignment, transparent communication, and disciplined execution. Attendees will learn how to transform M&A from a transactional activity into a strategic enabler of sustainable business growth.
