Acquisition and Integration
of Established Consumer
Healthcare Brands

Commissioned to partner with the Post-merger Integration team to build and execute a lean PMO to drive efficiency and manage the complexities of this large-scale acquisition. We focused on:

• Comprehensive RAIDD Framework Development: Leverage initial due diligence outputs to create a RAIDD (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies, Decisions) framework, enabling proactive identification of risks and opportunities. This approach went beyond traditional risk tracking, embedding risk management into the broader portfolio, leading to additional commercial value and new opportunities.

• Integrated Risk Management: Expanded the risk management process to be a central component of the PMO, embedding it across multiple functions and governance boards, which made risk management a key factor in portfolio reviews and strategic decision-making.

• Extensive Coordination and Governance: Managed core program reporting and coordination across functions including, M&A, legal, trademarks, supply chain, commercial regulatory, quality, finance, and tax. This involved leading buyer/seller project update reviews and cross-functional calls, with 20-50 participants per meeting, ensuring comprehensive integration efforts.

• Post-Deal Operational Oversight: Focused on 51 markets across regions from Latin America to Australia/New Zealand, enhancing integration, activities to ensure a smooth post-deal transition.

• Process Optimization and Opportunity Creation: Implemented efficiencies in master data management, commercial analysis, and process improvements, contributing to value creation throughout the integration.
