About Larry Forman
I’m the Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Xpertegic, where I lead deal strategy and M&A execution. Xpertegic helps buyout private equity firms and PE-backed platform companies scale add-on acquisitions—without distracting the core business.With 20+ years in corporate development and operations, I’ve completed ~$1B in domestic and international acquisitions and divestitures across public and private technology and services companies, including Deloitte, LexisNexis, and Teradata.I’ve helped both privately-held firms and large multinational companies accelerate growth, enter new markets, and create sustainable value.I’m a former venture capitalist and stay active in the VC and PE community as both a fundraiser and an investor.I am also the co-author of Mergers & Acquisitions Basics: The Key Steps of Acquisitions, Divestitures, and Investments, and a course instructor at the M&A Science Academy (M&A Negotiation Fundamentals and Corporate Carve-outs).Outside of work, I’m a wine enthusiast—always happy to swap recommendations.If you’re a buyout PE firm scaling a buy-and-build strategy—or a platform company without a dedicated deal team—let’s connect. Message me here, or book time via the Xpertegic website link in my profile.
