Yann Cluchey

What’s in this episode

When two companies join forces, the headlines focus on valuation and strategy, but under the surface, there’s another story playing out in codebases, infrastructure and teams.

In this episode, I talk to Yann Cluchey about what really happens on the technical side of mergers and acquisitions: from uncovering hidden risks during due diligence to the complex work of integrating systems, architectures, and cultures post-deal.

Drawing on years of experience guiding technology teams through M&A transitions, Yann shares candid insights on what to look for before you buy, how to assess engineering maturity, and why the hardest part of any merger isn’t the tech; it’s the people who build and maintain it.

If you’re an engineering or product leader facing an acquisition, or simply want to understand the unseen technical challenges behind the business headlines, this conversation is for you.
