Execution Support That Moved the Needle in Chemicals M&A
- Region: North America
- Industry: Chemicals / Private Equity
Challenge
A private equity–backed chemicals company was in the thick of a competitive sell-side process. With multiple bidders at the table and diligence intensifying, the internal M&A team was under immense pressure. The deal involved carve-out complexity, valuation questions, and board-facing deliverables — all while the clock was ticking.
They didn’t need generic support. They needed someone who could think like an investor, execute like a banker, and plug into the process immediately.
Deliverables
Fintalent deployed a seasoned freelance M&A Associate who had previously worked with firms like Goldman Sachs, Platinum Equity, and Verizon. He joined the team mid-process, quickly got up to speed, and started delivering on the ground.
From dissecting the carve-out implications to surfacing synergy levers, he provided high-level input on negotiation prep while handling the detailed work of building financial models and valuation scenarios. He collaborated closely with internal stakeholders and external advisors, helping shape narratives for board discussions and sharpening the company’s positioning during the final leg of the transaction.
This was more than just manpower — it was targeted M&A support services that made a strategic impact.
Result
With added firepower, the internal team was able to maintain deal velocity without sacrificing precision. The work supported critical decisions on valuation and negotiation strategy — and gave the board greater confidence in the path forward.
The engagement didn’t just relieve pressure — it elevated execution at a pivotal moment in the exit.
Strategic Takeaway: In lean M&A teams, execution bottlenecks often appear right when the stakes are highest. Fintalent embeds senior and mid-level professionals who deliver clarity, pace, and precision — exactly when it matters most.
