Situation

​

The RGP leadership team has a thoughtful M&A strategy and is committed to an ambitious growth plan (through both M&A and organic initiatives). The team also cultivated a pipeline of deals.

​

But they did not have the right bench strength in-house available to build the financial business case and value the targets.

​

What RGP Was Looking For

​

• “We needed the right skill-set who knew not only what questions to ask to value the business

• … but could also build a work product that helped our senior team to make decisions

• … and provide us insights to help us negotiate with targets.”

​

How did Athena Help RGP With Their M&A Journey​

​​

Athena helped RGP to thoughtfully evaluate five acquisitions, collaborating closely with the business sponsor and our leadership team to ask the right questions.

Feedback From RGP

​

“You knew how to get at the right information, and how to obtain the right assumptions that are necessary to evaluate the acquisition. Athena helped us to evaluate five acquisitions, collaborating closely with the business sponsor and our leadership team to ask the right questions. You knew how to get at the right information, and how to obtain the right assumptions that are necessary to evaluate the acquisition. You’ve seen a lot, across different industries and scenarios. You’re not just a consultant but also a coach and a teacher and we’ve learned a lot by working with you -and you make us better as a team over time”
