Why People Due Diligence Matters

Misaligned leadership incentives can wipe out synergy plans.

Hidden liabilities in legacy compensation schemes inflate purchase price.

Post-close uncertainty sparks flight of your top 10 % performers.

I translate people risk into deal economics – so you negotiate, integrate, and scale with confidence.

    My M&A experience

    I supported a Central-European healthcare network throughout its merger into an international group. My work spanned HR due-diligence, culture scans and the design of a step-by-step integration roadmap. By keeping the conversation open and consistent, I helped employees understand the changes and recognise how the new setup would benefit their everyday work – an approach that proved crucial for retaining key talent.

    Anetta has a rare gift for turning the leadership team’s tight, finance-driven targets into practical HR initiatives—and for explaining them so clearly that everyone knows how to deliver.

    I worked with her when our family-owned fertility-clinic group merged into Nextclinics. As Head of HR, I understood the cultural and operational hurdles that come with any integration. What impressed me most was Anetta’s blend of business acumen and empathy. She translated ambitious cost and growth goals into step-by-step programmes that both managers and employees could embrace. Achieving this demanded a deep grasp of C-suite priorities and an instinct for what people on the ground need. Anetta brought both – and guided us through some turbulent, high-pressure years. That she became a trusted friend throughout those adventurous, conflict-laden years – while remaining the leader I respected – says it all. Hanno Schulz Head of HR, Nextfertility IVF Prof. Zech
