Financial and legal due diligence catch most risks in a transaction. The softer, human risks that sink integrations are usually missed.
Athena's Persona Due Diligence gives you a 360-degree view of the target's leadership, culture and reputational exposure, so you understand the people you are acquiring before the deal closes.
We evaluate the target's key leaders and the capability gaps that will surface after close.
Extensive primary and secondary research surfaces cultural and reputational risk early.
You receive a clear read on retention risk and the leadership moves integration will require.
We capture the human factors that commercial and forensic diligence overlook.
We have run diligence for corporate acquirers and across PE and VC portfolios.
Sensitive assessments handled with complete confidentiality.
Findings translate directly into a retention and leadership plan.
Ideally alongside commercial and financial diligence, before the transaction closes, so people risk informs the decision and the integration plan.
Leadership capability, skill gaps, cultural fit and reputational risk across the target's key people, supported by primary and secondary research.
