About Brendan Bonner

I’m an M&A- and strategy-focused professional with experience supporting acquisitions, due diligence, and post-merger integration across finance, operations, and technology. I’ve worked in deal-driven environments where decisions are time-sensitive and impact investment outcomes, integration planning, and value creation.My experience includes buy-side diligence and post-close execution — building financial and operating models, assessing operational and systems risk, and translating complex findings into clear, actionable insights for senior leaders. I’ve supported private equity-backed acquisitions, large-scale merger integrations, and strategic initiatives that improved efficiency, scalability, and risk management.I’m particularly interested in management consulting, transaction advisory, strategy, and corporate development roles where I can help organizations and investors make high-impact decisions around growth, M&A, and value creation.
