for Acquisitions and Executives
We go deeper to discover the people and the potential
behind the numbers
IntelliSight is an international forensic referencing firm that uses proprietary processes in order to extract human intelligence around target acquisitions and C-Suite prospects. Our clients are Private Equity and M&A firms looking for assurance that the existing or potential C-Suite team is the right fit for their investment. We have a proven track record of repeat engagements with the most discerning financiers in the world.
“Suzanne’s work has been invaluable in helping us build a deep understanding of what type of people we are truly dealing with and how we could work with them in order to achieve our value creation strategy. Her insights provide us intelligence that we can’t get from a big-name consulting firm. Suzanne has an innate ability to gain access to the right network of references and provide granular specifics about the people of interest. She has helped us not only avoid potential landmines but also identify pockets of opportunity.”

The in-depth understanding gleaned from referencing isn’t just valuable for acquiring talent or firms. We advise companies on ongoing talent concerns and internal 360 referencing.
Suzanne Kelly
Founder/CEO
IntelliSight delivers the human intelligence needed to know the real story behind the management team in any target, strategic issues facing the business, and ways to unlock value. We focus on the human element that drives a meaningful part of the potential investment return. This pivotal diligence area goes woefully under researched today. Our Deal Intelligence reports bridge this knowledge gap, providing our clients a much clearer picture to make critical investment decisions.
Intellisight’s research is deep, unbiased, and offers a unique window into the management team and true business health of any target acquisition. We unearth both challenge areas and opportunities that would be impossible to discover at this stage of the process with other diligence services. And our work is backed up by results: increased sales, decreased costs and higher retention upon culmination of the deal—or the confidence to walk away.
