Governance Challenges Across the M&A Lifecycle

M&A is one of the most consequential decisions a board makes, yet the greatest risks often emerge after the deal is signed. Beyond validating strategy and financials, boards and their compensation committees need to assess whether leadership is equipped to deliver on the deal thesis and whether incentives are aligned with shareholder outcomes. 

This session focused on how directors can oversee execution through talent management, succession planning and incentive design, while maintaining independent judgment during fast-moving transactions and staying engaged through integration.

This event will began with a reception followed by a dinner where subject matter expert from Pearl Meyer,  Patrick Haggerty and fellow board members Catharine de Lacy and Terry Grayson-Caprio will lead a peer-to-peer discussion on governance challenges across the M&A lifecycle.
