IntegrationLife Sciences
Integrate five biotechs at once
In 2022 two private equity funds invested in a biotech company and four others in Europe and the US to create a platform for a new life sciences company.
Integrations and divestitures, led by partners and run on agents.
Atlantic M&A Partners uses atlanticma.ai: a system of work that augments and automates the transformation team, so a small senior team can run the programme more nimbly, without a consulting pyramid.
Senior people who have done this before.
Every engagement is led by a senior practitioner who has run integrations and carve-outs from the inside, with a partner overseeing each territory.

What is different
Agents do the work. Practitioners decide it.
atlanticma.ai drafts the charters and plans, captures decisions from meetings, tracks RAID, synergies and TSAs, and assembles the steering pack. Every output is a suggestion until your engagement lead has reviewed and accepted it.
The bottom part of the pyramid has been replaced by automation and project management tools. What you really need is senior people at the top who know how to work across an organization and how to build trust with the functional leaders and the executive team, and can reliably deliver an integration.
Four gears make or break an integration
People, capability and capacity, leadership, and tools. If one slips, the programme slips with it, so we plan all four from the start.
Three ways to work with us
Run atlanticma.ai yourselves, have us set it up around your plan or build the plan with you, or have our partners lead the programme.
Services - The whole deal, from diligence to TSA exit.
The work our partners have always done, run on a system that does the legwork.
M&A execution
How we deliver each type of M&A project, and how we run it on atlanticma.ai.
- Integration strategyDecide what the deal is for, and how far each part of the business should integrate to deliver it.
- Integration planningA roadmap and a 100-day plan both leadership teams own, so the business keeps running while the integration moves.
- Post-deal executionAn integration, programme or transition office that keeps the priorities on track and gets decisions made.
- Cultural transformationUnderstand how both organisations behave, and design the joint behaviours that get the most value from the deal.
- Transition service agreementsPlan and run the TSAs that let a buyer stand up its organisation, and exit each one on time.
Integration
From the deal thesis to a business roadmap that delivers it: Day 1, the first 100 days and Year 1, run function by function across both companies.
Divestitures and carve-outs
Define, plan and run the separation, and stand the new business up. We have turned around TSA programmes that were already late.
Due diligence
Technology, commercial and cultural due diligence, with financial and sales diligence from our specialists. Run by people who have led the integrations that follow, so findings arrive as integration objectives.
Technology
A technology blueprint to integrate or separate the portfolio, and AWS cloud to shorten it.
Interim executives
Interim CEO, COO, CFO and CTO roles when the programme needs a leader in the line.
Case studies - Experience you can check
Integrations, carve-outs and turnarounds our partners led, often as the interim executives in the room.
DivestitureTechnology
Carve-out and four business unit split
In 2020 a global technology group sold its cyber security software business to a private equity buyer. The buyer split the company into four business units while changing ERP, and then faced severe delays exiting TSAs during Covid-19.
Divestiture and IntegrationConsumer Goods
Consumer brands carve-out and integration
In 2013 a global consumer goods company decided to sell two snack brands and their manufacturing assets.
