About HR M&A Roundtable
We understand that successful mergers and acquisitions depend on more than just numbers – they're driven by people, leadership, and culture. While most deals focus solely on financial metrics, we're changing the narrative by putting people at the heart of every integration.
For over seven years, we've specialized in guiding HR and M&A leaders through the complexities of the merger and acquisition process. Through peer-learning events, innovative training programs, and practical toolkits, we equip practitioners and organizations with the strategies and skills needed to turn complex challenges into opportunities for lasting growth.
Led by Dr. Klint Kendrick and Executive Director Brendan McElroy, we're redefining what it means to master your merger
