Growth Strategies with M&A

In the seventh episode of How to Scale we focus on mergers and acquisitions. Host Jens Düing speaks to serial entrepreneur Michael Kent, who was the CEO of Azimo, one of Frog Capital’s former portfolio companies, which recently was acquired by Papaya Global.’

Before being CEO of Azimo, Michael worked in corporate mergers and acquisitions at News Corp and WPP before founding Small World where he and his team conducted multiple acquisitions.

In the conversation we cover growth strategies with mergers and acquisitions, including what to focus on if you're looking to acquire for the first time and a reminder that the process does not finish when the transaction is completed. We also talk about the difference in skill sets between organic growth and acquisitive growth, and the importance of focusing on people and relationships before, during and after any deal.
