Often the fastest way to deliver growth into a business is through mergers and acquisitions. With over 27 years experience in M&A through both my Executive career and advisory role I have operated across multiple international markets including the UK, Russia, Ukraine, China, India & Brazil. I work with you to assess M&A opportunities from both a strategic perspective, right down into detailed financial, commercial and operational delivery.
Key outputs include:
Assessment of a range of potential M&A targets
Insight into competitor bidders and negotiation strategies
Development of strategy and 5 year plan
Detailed financial & commercial due diligence vs business plan provided by the acquisition target
Business valuation
Investment case and board presentations
Post-deal integration planning
Talent review and succession planning within the target company

Jeannette pictured with Damon Hill – TUI Travel India, a part of TUI Travel PLC – announcing the launch of its retail expansion plans in Mumbai, heralding TUI India’s aggressive expansion plans which is aimed at growing the business in India over the next 5 years.
I had a great pleasure to work with Jeannette Linfoot when she was MD of the Emerging Markets at TUI, when we sold our business VKO to TUI, as well as in the process of TUI Launch in Russia and CIS. Jeannette is a highly skilled and experienced business woman with an approachable and honest style that makes doing business with her an absolute pleasure. Jeannette`s professionalism and interpersonal skills allowed her to cultivate a strong team environment and productive working relationships with VKO staff. During that challenging period Jeannette brought a long and varied background that can be really hard to find nowadays and TUI benefited much by having her in their team.
In summary, Jeannette did an excellent job and I would definitely recommend Jeannette to anyone, as a board advisor, mentor or investor.
