Experience & Track Record

Judgement shaped by experience.

25 years across business and technology transformation and European M&A, including 23 years at Accenture, helping boards and leadership teams evaluate opportunities, integrate businesses and deliver long-term value.

That experience shapes one conviction: strategy and technology can create the opportunity. Leadership and organisation determine whether it can be delivered.

Judgement matters most when it can be translated into action.

The organisation behind the numbers

Traditional diligence tells you what you're buying. Leadership & Organisation Due Diligence tests whether it can deliver the investment thesis

Drawing on the investment thesis and outputs from other due diligence workstreams, I assess the leadership, capability, governance and culture required for execution.

Financial

Financial performance and quality of earnings.

Commercial & Operational

The market, customers, growth potential and operational performance.

Legal & HR

Legal, regulatory and employment risks.

A strong investment case does not create value on its own.
The organisation still has to deliver it.

In their words

Trusted by investors, leaders and founders across the deal lifecycle.

Sylvie was a key member of Accenture's European M&A engine, bringing the rigour of management consulting to one of the world's largest acquisition programmes. She helped pioneer an approach that treated culture not as an HR topic, but as a commercial advantage. By understanding what made businesses successful before integration began, she uncovered insights that financial due diligence alone could not reveal. Those insights helped investment teams make better investment decisions and laid the foundations for integration programmes that protected the leadership, culture and organisational capabilities underpinning long-term value creation.
