Product Management & M&A Integration Advisory

Helping large product organisations make M&A integrations actually work.

I’m Raj, a product leader with 30+ years in building, scaling and integrating products across multiple business units and acquired companies. I work with leadership teams to make strategy, org design and execution line up.

What working together looks like

A lightweight, outcome-driven approach that fits around your existing teams, not on top of them.

1
Context & objectives
We align on the current situation, constraints and what success would look like in 6–12 months.
2
Discovery & mapping
Conversations and artefact reviews to understand org structure, portfolio, in-flight projects and metrics.
3
Design & alignment
Co-create pragmatic changes: responsibilities, rituals, roadmaps, dashboards and communication flows.
4
Embed & support
Stay engaged as the new model is rolled out, adjusting details based on how teams actually work.
Formats & logistics
Typically engagements combine remote working sessions with focused on-site days for key workshops. I’m comfortable working across time zones and alongside your existing consulting partners.
