  Senior Executive, Corporate Development

  Global M&A Integration Leader who departed Accenture in February 2024 with 20+ years of successfullyintegrating 300+ Accenture internal acquisition across 30+ countries. Created dedicated teams of professionals who implemented my integration philosophies and practices; my leadership resulted in the majority of acquisitions greatly exceeding their business cases. Key integration philosophies included winning the “hearts and minds” of acquired employees while protecting Accenture from material risk.Swiftly established trust with acquired leadership, deal sponsors, and Accenture local leadership through anauthentic approach to integration that prioritized understanding deal nuances and applying lessons learned from prior acquisitions. Led multi-decade efforts to develop global integration models that were approved by Accenture senior risk managers and customized for individual country norms.Developed an M&A Integration Playbook that enabled Accenture to acquire companies at scale; my strategy playbook allowed Accenture to go from conducting 1 or 2 acquisitions in the early 2000s to 50+ in the early 2020s. Acquisitions became a significant growth engine for Accenture from tuck-in acquisitions, adjacent acquisitions, and greenfield acquisitions. For example, Accenture became one of the largest online advertising agencies in the world after successfully integrating 15+ online advertising acquisitions. Show less
