About KC Malik

Founder - Integrity Intelligence for M&A

“Hi, I’m KC and I help executives lead transformations, most often in M&A settings, with early insight, clarity, and guidance to attain or exceed their full value aspiration.”

I believe that

  • Value is created by people, not just deal mechanics.
  • Clarity under pressure is a true competitive edge.
  • Leadership integrity drives execution integrity.
  • Transformations are most successful when trust is built early.

Let's discover how I might guide you in your next transformation journey.

Independent clarity. Fast. No strings attached.

Why Call Me?

Budget-friendly, practical guidance that gives you clarity before the M&A machinery takes over.

  • - Program clarity:
    your "quick-start manual" with scope and roadmap defined up front.
  • - People alignment:
    safeguard talent and trust from the start.
  • - Budget-friendly independence:
    fast, unbureaucratic, within most budgets.
  • - No hidden agenda:
    independent guidance, no pressure to upsell.
  • - Advisor-ready:
    clean briefs and faster starts for external partners when needed

WHEN TO CALL

  • For a fast, independent, tailored scan of issues and risks before committing to the deal.
  • When appointing (or becoming) a program lead to get clarity on what the role really demands.
  • When you need your board story to be grounded in execution reality.
  • When you want to avoid losing key talent or alienating staff during the deal.
