The best deals aren't won on financials alone—they're built on operational excellence. 🎧 Watch now and discover what separates successful acquisitions from costly mistakes: zurl.co/7MesA Strong margins and attractive financials can tell a compelling story, but they don't always reveal what's happening beneath the surface. The difference between a good acquisition and a great one often lies in identifying the operational signals that traditional due diligence overlooks. In this episode of the M&A Advisor Podcast, Roger Aguinaldo is joined by Henning Bruns and Gizay Unal of Komoto Consulting, alongside Behzad Mansouri of Charles Schwab, to explore how operational strategy drives long-term deal value. 🎙️ Key topics include: • Why strong financial performance can conceal operational weaknesses • The hidden risks of fragmented organizational structures in manufacturing M&A • A practical four-pillar framework for stabilizing and scaling acquired businesses • How operational due diligence protects value before and after closing For investors, operators, private equity professionals, and corporate acquirers, this discussion offers actionable strategies for looking beyond the numbers and building more resilient, value-creating transactions. #MAAdvisor #Manufacturing #OperationalExcellence
