Chief Executive Officer at Apogee, a Boldyn Networks Company

The 4Cs of a GREAT Merger? When two companies merge, there’s one shared expectation front and center: the merger will meet or exceed the buyer’s financial goals, delivering immediate strategic value to the combined entity. But what’s the true pathway to achieving those outcomes? Beyond the spreadsheets and financial projections, what really determines if a merger will thrive in the long run? As someone who’s been on both sides of the deal—more often as the acquirer, but also as part of an acquired company—I’ve developed insights that go deeper than the balance sheet. In May, Apogee merged with Boldyn Networks, marking a pivotal moment as we became Boldyn’s higher education division. Now, four months later, it’s time to reflect—not to declare victory, but to assess progress from the acquired company’s perspective. While I’ll explore both sides of the story, my focus is naturally on how this merger has impacted Apogee and our clients. This topic matters because mergers are not just financial transactions; they’re transformative when done right. Boldyn Networks recognized higher education as a high-potential market but had only begun to tap into it. Apogee, with 25 years of experience and a client base that includes hundreds of colleges and millions of students, offered a unique opportunity. By joining forces with Boldyn, Apogee instantly became the premier provider of managed Wi-Fi, cellular networks, and IT services for U.S. higher education. The key to making this merger successful lies in balancing integration without disrupting the core business. Under the leadership of Igor Leprince globally and Christos Karmis in the U.S., we’ve worked to preserve what made both companies strong, while harnessing new synergies. Our ultimate goal is to continue providing exceptional service to our clients while exploring new growth opportunities. Follow me over the next couple of weeks as we dive deeper into how this merger is unfolding through the lens of the “4Cs”—Culture, Customers, Communications and Capabilities.Boldyn Networks #Culture #Customers #Communications #Capabilities #Mergers

What is zero trust and how does it apply to higher education? Zero trust is a significant departure from the castle and moat method traditionally used by higher ed institutions. Instead of extending trust to users and devices inside the organization’s perimeter, it validates the activities and permissions of network assets on a continuous basis. Check out our latest blog post to see how zero trust leads to significant improvements in campus security: https://lnkd.in/gV3SWVdy
