• Inventory infrastructure, applications, ERP, MES, and cloud environments.
• Audit software licenses for compliance, transferability, and hidden cost.
• Assess cybersecurity controls, incident history, and data security protocols.
• Review OT and industrial control system security, a key risk in manufacturing and smart factories.
• Check regulatory frameworks such as CMMC, NIST 800-171, SOC 2, HIPAA, or FDA data integrity rules.
• Estimate technical debt, separation or carve-out costs, and required capex.
• Plan Day 1 IT readiness, TSAs, and Industry 4.0 / digital transformation opportunities.
• After close, lead systems integration and cybersecurity remediation.

• 8+ years in IT leadership, IT advisory, or cybersecurity; prior M&A or carve-out experience.
• Working knowledge of ERP (SAP, Oracle, Epicor, or similar) and manufacturing systems.
• Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or CISA preferred.
• Ability to turn technical risk into cost, timeline, and deal-term recommendations.

Operating Partner path: interim CIO or digital lead, running integration and the smart-factory roadmap.
