What We Do
Post-Merger Integration
PMI: The Hidden Risk in Food M&A Nobody Talks About
Most M&A deals in the food and FMCG sector fail to deliver their promised value—not because the deal was wrong, but because integration stalls. Bottlenecks, unclear responsibilities, and overwhelmed teams drain momentum, leading to missed synergies, talent loss, and operational chaos that can take years (and millions) to fix.
If no one steps in to get your post-merger integration on track, your deal’s value slowly evaporates while your organization remains stuck in a costly limbo.
We help mid-sized FMCG and food companies secure the value of their acquisitions by diagnosing and resolving integration bottlenecks quickly, ensuring your deal delivers on its promise.

Why Work With Us
Meet Andrew
I am a seasoned expert with over 30 years of experience in various management roles, primarily in medium-sized food companies. For the last 15 years, I have successfully served as CEO and COO. Previously, I built extensive experience across HR, Supply Chain & Operations, and Sales functions.
Throughout my professional life, I have worked for companies undergoing significant changes. In these settings, I contributed to and led strategic alignments, M&A executions, post-merger integrations, and optimization of organizational structures and workflows.
I believe that successful changes are based on a hands-on approach, consistency, and well-structured, results-driven processes. However, without the right people, their support, and clear leadership, change processes often fail to deliver the expected results. As these changes occur in an ever-evolving environment, it’s crucial to regularly review the strategic goals.
With deep experience in the FMCG-Food Industry and hands-on leadership across multiple functions, I help companies navigate substantial change and post-merger phases to achieve their strategic objectives. My support focuses on creating the right structures, aligning the right people, and building the capabilities needed for lasting results
Change is a challenge – with the right leadership and structure, it becomes a platform for value creation. I´m here to support that journey.
