M&A is Not a Strategy: A Fireside Chat with Ansys Ajei Gopal
Mergers and acquisitions are powerful tools that can help organizations to leapfrog their competitors while increasing value for customers and investors. During this fireside chat, Ajei Gopal, the president and CEO of S&P 500 company Ansys, will discuss why M&A isn’t a successful strategy by itself. Rather, acquisitions must be used to support an underlying corporate strategy. Ansys is a serial acquirer, having bought 30 companies in the past 25 years. Ajei, himself an entrepreneur whose company was acquired by Symantec, will share lessons learned for management as well as for corporate directors.
