Accelerating the Value of Your Carve-Out: The Human Element
In corporate carve-outs, success depends on more than financials. It depends on people. When Intel named Raghib Hussain CEO of the future Altera entity before the deal closed, it signaled a shift: leadership, culture and talent cannot wait. His early, visible presence stabilized key teams during uncertainty, proving that prioritizing people helps preserve value. With up to 90 percent of M&A deals falling short, often due to delayed talent decisions, companies must act early.
Key Takeaways:
Leadership Continuity: Early, visible leadership builds stability and trust
Organizational Clarity: Clear roles and structures reduce uncertainty
Culture Reinforcement: Shared values maintain focus and cohesion
Communication and Team Enablement: Equipped managers drive morale and execution
HR Operational Readiness: Functional systems ensure smooth Day 1 transitions
In a recent article, A&M Talent, Organization & People Solutions experts discuss how organizations must lead with a people-first strategy. In turn, carve-outs are more resilient, focused and successful.
