In this episode of M&A+ The Art After the Deal, host Lisa Scott is joined by Tom Doorley, founder of Sage Partners, co-founder of Braxton Associates, and long-time advisor to top boards and billion-dollar companies. With decades of experience guiding organizations through growth, strategy, governance, and integration, Tom brings a rare blend of insight, candor, and playbook-level clarity to the post-deal landscape.
Together, Lisa and Tom unpack:
- What makes a “decision-ready board” and why most boards are underutilized
 - The difference between growth and value-creating growth
 - Lessons from the field: from Kimberly-Clark’s brand win to the Scott Paper misstep
 - The truth about integration—what happens on day two and how culture, branding, and leadership shape long-term success
 - Why some leadership teams stall at 100 people—and how to build high-performing, trust-based teams
 - How to navigate the “fog of change” in a world of AI, polarization, and volatility
 - The M&A playbook that separates coin-flip deals from value-driving ones
 
Whether you’re scaling a startup, preparing for an exit, or guiding a company through a major transition, this episode is packed with hard-earned wisdom and actionable strategies to help you master the art after the deal.
