Hire a post-merger integration lead in Greece and Cyprus
A leader for the months after signing, when the value of a deal is actually won or lost.
The deal gets the attention; the integration decides whether it pays off. In the months after completion, customers, key people, systems, and two ways of working all move at once, and the executives responsible still have businesses to run. A post-merger integration lead owns that period full time: one person accountable for turning a signed deal into one working company.
The integration leads on Hellenic Talent have run this before, at Big 4 firms, top consultancies, or in senior industry roles on the buying side. They know the practical terrain of Greece and Cyprus: merging entities across the two countries, acquired family businesses, and payroll and statutory realities that never appear in the deal model.
What does a post-merger integration lead actually do?
- Stand up the integration office: workstreams, owners, cadence, decision log
- Track synergies against the deal model and report where they truly stand
- Plan organisational integration, from reporting lines to keeping the people who matter
- Sequence systems and process migration so nothing breaks mid-change
- Keep the core business trading while everything around it changes
- Escalate early the decisions only the deal sponsors can take
How to choose the right post-merger integration lead
What to test in the first conversation, whoever you end up hiring.
Not their first integration
Has run an integration, not only planned one on slides.
Holds owners to dates
Strong enough on governance to hold workstream owners to their dates.
Local entities and payroll
Knows the local terrain: entities, payroll, and systems across Greece and Cyprus.
Retention beats the workplan
Reads people as well as plans: retention and culture decide more than the workplan.
Tells sponsors when synergies miss
Will tell the deal sponsors when the synergy case is not materialising.
