Outcome
Within the first six months, the local entity built the functional foundation required for scale, hired around 110 employees and was ready for consolidated reporting. The business gained the structure and control needed for a stable ramp-up.

MTM has supported several clients in acquisition and post-merger integration settings where success depended not only on getting the transaction done, but on preparing the business to execute effectively after closing. While the contexts differed, the underlying challenge was similar: translating deal ambition into a practical and controlled integration path.
