From Deal Thesis to Talent Strategy - August 11 Virtual Roundtable

From Deal Thesis to Talent Strategy: Embedding People in the M&A Value Chain

August 11, 2026
10:00 - 11:00 AM CT
Virtual Event

Event Overview

In most deals, the people strategy lags behind the financial one. But leading acquirers are changing that by embedding leadership, culture, and talent considerations directly into the deal thesis itself.

In this session, Paul Kibbe and Chuck Moritt from Mercer will share fresh research and real-world insights on how forward-thinking organizations are connecting people strategy to deal value at every stage of the transaction. We will explore how to bring human capital metrics into early-stage deal design, translate the deal thesis into actionable workforce plans, and identify talent dependencies before they erode value.

Who Should Join?

  • HR M&A leaders
  • Integration managers
  • Private equity talent partners
  • Corporate development leaders
  • M&A consultants & advisors
  • Talent & culture strategists

Whether you're shaping the deal thesis, supporting integration, or trying to connect people strategy to measurable business outcomes, this roundtable will give you practical ideas to bring back to your team.
