Nick Berry

M&A Value Creation Director Miryo

Nick Berry is Founder and CEO at miryō, where he works with PE and corporate acquirers to maximise M&A deal outcomes. His first deal was selling the strategic digital agency he co-founded to IPG. Since then, he has focused on creating value through M&A integrations, delivering exceptional results for gyro B2B, Merkle and dentsu, where he managed a $750m integration portfolio. His area of expertise is commercial integrations, combining pre-deal due diligence and commercial planning with relentless post-deal cross-selling to generate growth and hard to achieve revenue synergies. He also launched the M&A Futures Project, which seeks to use inter-disciplinary frameworks to understand and avoid the common drivers of value destruction (which impair ~50% M&A deals).

CONFERENCE DAY TWO: 15TH OCTOBER

12:00 PM THE M&A PARADOX: WHY INTEGRATION DESTROYS VALUE — AND HOW TO PREVENT IT

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.
