XPX Denver - Integration Readiness Is Value Creation

Most owners prepare to sell by dressing up the story. The smartest ones prepare by making their business easy to absorb. In this session, Jen Thompson with ALKMY Advisors draws on real integration and transformation experience to reframe exit readiness around a single idea: the levers that shrink integration risk are the same ones that expand value.

Attendees will learn the highest-impact value creation levers a seller can pull. The takeaway: stop asking "how do I look attractive?" and start asking "how do I make myself easy to integrate?"
