Successful acquisition or divestment is not a given. Right from the start, attention must be on operational and IT realities to enable business continuity and realization of the intended value-creation.

Head of Transaction Strategy and Execution, Associate Partner, EY-Parthenon Denmark

Brings extensive consulting and corporate transaction experience. Brings transactions through to successful completion.

Anders is the head of Transaction Strategy and Execution in Denmark. He supports end-to-end acquisitions and divestments; enabling deal objectives and protecting deal value via management of the complex transaction programs, and also focuses on the IT and operational ‘engine room’ – before, during and after a transaction.

Anders typically gets involved early in a transaction process where an acquisition or a divestment is still just an option; through development of integration or separation strategies, over due diligence and negotiation, through to closing and integration or separation.

Anders holds an MPA degree from Harvard University, a BSc in Political Science from Copenhagen University, and has studied at The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, and at the London Business School.

His experience from consulting and the industry includes roles within operations, strategy, business development/incubation and M&A.

How Anders is building a better working world

"M&A is increasingly becoming a part of the applied toolbox when companies execute on their strategies. Therefore, it is a problem that many acquisitions or divestments fail. Not only do they fail to deliver the intended deal value – they also create unnecessary complexity and stress in the organization and impacts the rest of the business negatively.

A transaction process is often carved up into isolated bits – precisely to reduce complexity and stress, however, the result is often the opposite. A transaction process must be seen and approached holistically across legal, finance, strategy, operations and IT and also from an end-to-end perspective."
