Acquisitions can be efficient and cost-effective ways to grow a platform...but they don't guarantee accretive returns. A poorly structured, integrated or positioned add-on can be a path to value drag, headaches and regrets. Broadwing Capital Managing Partner Eliot Kerlin is excited to share his experience regarding successful add-ons and lessons learned with fellow panelists and FEI Dallas next Thursday. #M&A #mergersandacquisitions #FEI #dallasfortworthpe #privateequity #add-ons

Broadwing’s inagural firm offsite was packed with in-depth strategy discussions, portfolio review and an intensive workshop on culture building.
