M&A Due Diligence Assessments

Navigating the complexities of mergers and acquisitions requires precision, expertise, and a strategic approach to risk mitigation.

Hello, I’m Bob Manning, specializing in safeguarding investments in the food and beverage industry. With over 30 years of leadership experience and expertise in operations, food safety, quality, and recall prevention, I help investors mitigate risks and maximize the value of their portfolio companies.

For Private Equity, Venture Capital, and Family Offices, I provide targeted, comprehensive operational assessments and strategies that proactively identify and address potential pitfalls, like costly failures, operational inefficiencies, and devastating recalls, before they affect your bottom line.

My track record includes transforming underperforming operations, designing preventative frameworks that deliver measurable ROI for stakeholders, or investigating failures to ensure other investments are protected.
