Director of M&A

=== CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT, M&A, and PLATFORM STRATEGY === I am a senior corporate development and M&A leader with experience using acquisitions, partnerships, valuation, and strategic finance to support platform growth and long-term enterprise value creation. My work has focused on evaluating and executing acquisitions, advising on capital allocation and deal structures, and partnering with executive leadership on acquisition-led growth strategies. I bring a strong foundation in valuation, transaction analysis, deal execution, and strategic planning, with an emphasis on how inorganic growth fits within broader business and company objectives. Across my career, I have worked closely with C-suite leaders, boards and investors on complex, high-impact decisions, translating financial and strategic analysis into clear recommendations that support sustainable growth. I am particularly interested in environments where corporate development is a core growth lever and where strategy, M&A, and value creation are tightly integrated. I always welcome the opportunity to connect with colleagues and friends and can be contacted at sakrishnan1381@gmail.com or (508) 450-5264. === LEADERSHIP STRENGTHS === ✔Corporate Development and M&A Leadership ✔M&A Execution & Due Diligence ✔Deal Sourcing, Evaluation, Structuring, and Transaction Execution ✔Post-Acquisition Value Creation ✔Platform Strategy and Acquisition-Led Growth ✔Corporate Venture Capital ✔Portfolio Company Support and Monitoring ✔Valuation and Investment Analysis ✔Capital Allocation and Strategic Decision Support ✔Executive and Board-Level Communication ✔Partnership with CEOs and Senior Leadership Teams ✔Cross-Functional Leadership Across Finance, Strategy, and Operations ✔Portfolio and Platform Value Creation ✔Team Leadership, Mentoring, and Stakeholder Alignment ✔Strategic Planning and Performance Management ✔Executive-Level Deal Reviews and Investment Committee Support === TECHNICAL EXPERTISE === • Financial Modeling and Valuation • M&A Analysis, Due Diligence Coordination, and Deal Evaluation • Market, Competitive, and Industry Analysis • Strategic Planning and Capital Allocation Frameworks • Executive Reporting, Dashboards, and KPI Development
