The Buy & Build model has long been a playbook for PE funds, but the game has changed. Investors now demand proof that these roll-ups can generate real value beyond financial engineering. The problem? Most PE-backed boards struggle to make it work. The result? Stagnation. Frustrated management. Struggling exits. Join this session to tackle the hard truths and find a way out:
• Don't let your buy & build become a house of cards - Integration tools incl. pre mortems, value distraction watch outs, repeatable playbooks
• Overcoming the finance-first mindset and build the strategic and operational expertise
• Putting the capital where it matters the most: Investing in operations, tech, and commercial levers that drive growth
• The CEO vs. the Boardroom Standoff – How to align financial decision-makers with operational execution.
