In this Buy-Side Masterclass Short, Paul Giannamore explains why acquisitions should only support strategy—not emotions—and how CEOs can avoid chasing “shiny object” deals that destroy value instead of creating it. 🔗 Connect with Paul Giannamore LinkedIn ▸ https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulgiannamore Instagram ▸ https://www.instagram.com/pgiannamore 🌐 More resources ▸ https://www.potomaccompany.com/ Produced and Filmed by Verbell Ltd. https://www.verbell.ltd/ #shorts #PrivateEquity #MasterClass #BuySide #MergersAndAcquisitions #DealMaking #BusinessGrowth #Entrepreneurship #BusinessValuation #PotomacTV
