In the dynamic world of mergers and acquisitions, the importance of comprehensive IT due diligence cannot be overstated. Today, I am thrilled to announce the launch of SearchFundIT, a consultancy dedicated to filling the gap in the search fund space with expert IT due diligence reporting and consulting services.

With over two decades of experience in Information Technology, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of meticulous IT analysis in the M&A process. My journey began when a former CFO, with whom I had the pleasure of working, sought my expertise for his search fund acquisition. This collaboration marked the inception of SearchFundIT—a company born out of the need for specialized IT due diligence.

As a seasoned IT leader, my tenure as an IT Strategist for twenty-one State agencies sharpened my skills in strategic planning, budget management, and operational oversight. My technical acumen, coupled with a customer-first philosophy, has consistently delivered solutions that align IT capabilities with business objectives.

During my tenure as an IT Director, I delved deep into the intricacies of network and technology systems. This role demanded a meticulous approach to discovery, where I assessed and mapped out the entire IT landscape, identifying not just the assets but also the interdependencies that could impact business operations. My focus was on uncovering hidden risks that could derail a merger or acquisition, such as outdated systems, non-compliant software, or potential security vulnerabilities.

The risk analysis phase was about evaluating the severity and likelihood of these risks materializing. It involved a thorough examination of existing security protocols, data management practices, and disaster recovery plans. My goal was to provide a clear picture of the IT risks involved and their potential impact on the business’s value and operations.

Reporting was the final, critical step where I synthesized complex technical data into actionable insights for stakeholders. These reports were tailored to inform strategic decisions, offering clarity on whether to proceed with an acquisition, renegotiate terms, or even walk away. They included detailed assessments of the IT expenditure required post-acquisition to bring systems up to standard, ensuring no surprises down the line.

This director-level experience has been pivotal in understanding the unique challenges and opportunities that arise during the M&A process. It has equipped me with the foresight to anticipate issues and the expertise to recommend solutions that align IT infrastructure with business goals, ultimately ensuring a smooth transition and integration post-acquisition.
