Dallas, TX (November 12, 2024) |
ALM First, a strategic partner for more than 300 financial institutions nationwide, is expanding its M&A team to increase the firm’s post-merger integration capabilities. John Morada, an operations & integrations professional with more than 15 years of experience, recently joined the firm as Managing Director, Integrations.
“We’re thrilled to welcome John to the team,” says David Ritter, Managing Director, M&A Advisory. “Through this new role, we are expanding our value to clients. His experience bringing new services to market plus delivering on potential new synergies will benefit our clients greatly. From deal inception to integration to run-the-business, ALM First will offer a full suite of services in a merger lifecycle.”
Morada brings a wealth of expertise to ALM First. Prior to joining the firm, he served as Chief Operating Officer for M&A Science, and as Senior Director in Corporate Development at Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). Throughout his career, he also served his community as the de jure Chief Information Officer for the Silicon Valley Education Foundation and as Adjunct Faculty at American University.
“I’m looking forward to working with ALM First’s clients to amplify their post-merger integration journey,” says Morada. “When institutions begin planning for necessary integrations sooner and enlisting the help of experienced partners to guide the process, these transitions are much more likely to go smoothly for all key stakeholders.”
Morada earned his Master of Business Administration from Lake Forest Graduate School of Management and his Bachelor of Science from American University.
