Mergers and acquisitions are complicated, expensive, and not always successful. The question for many executive teams is how to get some of the benefits of the scale afforded by M&A without actually merging. That was the focus of a recent session at The 2022 OPEN MINDS Mergers, Acquisitions & Affiliations Summit session, Affiliation Without A Merger — Perspectives From Executives Who Are Making It Work, featuring Legacy CEO Roy Leitstein, Woods Services President & CEO Tine Hansen-Turton and other speakers who spoke about two successful non-merger affiliations and gave advice to executives who are considering similar affiliation strategies.
