Christophe van Gampelaere
Managing Partner
DACH / Benelux
Welcome to Benelux, France and India.
Global PMI Partners’ France/Benelux team has been around since 2010. We have helped small and large clients realise their deal rationale on both local and global transactions.
Our services are designed to help clients integrate their acquired companies quickly and effectively. A successful journey starts in the pre-target phase, and continues well beyond closing. Anywhere along the way we can be activated to provide support:
Pre-Target
Successful integration starts even before an acquisition target is in sight, with team trainings, toolkits, and management team alignment on the future business model.
Pre-Signing
We provide insights on synergies and perform cultural, technology and operational due diligence.
Between signing and closing
Together we ramp up the integration office with a mix of internal and external team members, preparing for Day 1 and post-close integration planning across all business functions.
Post Closing
We continue to drive coordination, and dive deep in across workstreams, including finance, IT, HR, change, sales, etc. to ensure that integration planning aligns to the deal value drivers.
Our involvement can be ramped up or toned down, as the need dictates. Let us help you navigate the complexities of M&A integration and achieve your strategic goals. We invite you to reach out to our local leadership team.
