This role acts as the guardian of process adherence, ensuring that all M&A IT teams follow the established frameworks, tools, and methodologies when planning and executing M&A IT deals. While governance is the foundation, this role goes beyond checklists—it’s about enabling teams to work faster, smarter, capturing real-world feedback, and closing the gap between process design and execution.
