Accelerating a $4B carveout through strategic transformation

We helped tackle this challenge by first establishing strong governance and creating unified communication across all stakeholders. With $4 million in monthly TSA costs on the line, the client needed to complete a complex carveout in just six months—making speed and precision critical. Our team developed a comprehensive separation roadmap, combining process optimization with strategic planning. By bringing together M&A experts and subject matter specialists, we designed a practical approach to overcome data limitations and resource constraints. This foundation enabled us to execute the separation while maintaining business continuity and preparing for future growth.

We worked closely with leadership to manage the separation in clear stages: three months to set up transition agreements, six months to complete the split, and six months to handle regional HR changes. Over the course of 15 months, our multidisciplinary team coordinated 13 critical workstreams across these phases, ensuring progress on all fronts without disruption. We also managed communication between investors, advisors, and vendors. We helped ensure a smooth and timely transition by creating region-specific plans, focusing on key functions, and solving HR challenges in real time.

Beyond meeting the TSA deadline, we helped create a fully operational standalone company ready to serve customers with greater agility. The separation delivered $4 million in avoided costs, reduced vendor complexity by 44%, and enabled the creation of 50+ critical roles—all key to ensuring long-term scalability. The streamlined vendor ecosystem and optimized processes set the foundation for sustainable growth. The new organization now has the flexibility to respond quickly to market opportunities, supported by efficient operations and clear governance structures. This transformation positions them for continued innovation and market leadership in their sector.
