Company A was seeking a merger to drive the growth it needed in its U.S., Canadian and Latin American markets. The firm had lost valuable talent to the competition in a prior acquisition and it couldn't afford to let that happen again. The stakes in this merger were too high to go forward without every advantage available.
EXECUTIVE QUEST INTERNATIONAL had a long-term relationship with Company A and helped lead an analysis on the leadership attributes and technical skills of its existing management team. As a member of the due diligence team, it examined the strengths and weaknesses of the executive group in the company to be acquired. Through timely, concurrent analysis, EXECUTIVE QUEST INTERNATIONAL identified the critical players already on board in each company who would lead the merged operation - it also identified the team's deficiencies. EXECUTIVE QUEST INTERNATIONAL helped to fill the gaps through an efficient, exhaustive search process that recruited outside talent with the skills and aptitudes needed to lead the company into the future on the strongest footing possible.
