Performance Improvement Partners (PIP) Launches Carve & Integration Group (CIG) to Guide Private Equity Firms Through Complex Transactions 

Performance Improvement Partners (PIP), the leading technology solutions provider for private equity firms and their portfolio companies, proudly announces the launch of its Carve & Integration Group (CIG) — a dedicated business unit focused exclusively on guiding private equity clients through complex transactions, including carve-outs, mergers, and integrations. 

The Carve & Integration Group (CIG) combines deep private equity expertise, hands-on transaction experience, and a proven methodology to help clients navigate the most challenging aspects of deals—ensuring seamless transitions, unlocking hidden value, and accelerating value creation post-close. 

PIP has appointed Phalgun Yanamandra, Managing Director, to lead this new group. Phalgun has been part of PIP’s executive team for over four years and brings more than 15 years of experience in executing complex M&A transactions. He has been instrumental in developing PIP’s comprehensive Complex Transactions Playbook. 

“Carve-outs and integrations are some of the most complex and high-stakes moments in a private equity deal,” said John Bisack, Founder/CEO at PIP. “CIG was created to give our clients a trusted partner who understands the nuances of these complex transactions, anticipates risks, and executes with precision—so they can focus on the bigger picture: delivering on the investment thesis.” 

CIG’s core services include: 

• Separation Analysis & Planning: Assessment of entanglements and separation perimeter; evaluation of separation options; development of a clear roadmap with detailed plans, milestones, dependencies, and costs 

• Rapid Costs Analysis: Provides stakeholders with a clear, data-driven view of baseline costs, cost drivers, and potential savings opportunities during a carve-out, divestiture, or integration. This rapid insight enables clients to build realistic transition budgets, negotiate effectively, and accelerate value capture. 

• Carve-Out Execution: Structuring, planning, and executing carve-outs to minimize business disruption, reduce stranded costs, accelerate TSA exits, and deliver a smooth, timely separation with clear accountability and value capture. 

• Integration Strategy: Designing comprehensive integration roadmaps that align technology, operations, and talent across newly combined entities to drive synergy capture, streamline processes, and enable a unified operating model 

• Transaction Readiness: Conducting thorough assessments of technology and operational preparedness before the transaction to ensure seamless transitions, mitigate risks, and preserve deal value 

• Post-Close Execution: Implementing detailed, actionable plans to capture synergies, optimize costs, and accelerate growth in the combined entity 

The launch of CIG reinforces PIP’s commitment to being the private equity industry’s trusted partner for driving value creation. By combining deep technology expertise with extensive M&A experience, CIG provides private equity firms with a clear, strategic pathway from transaction execution to transformative growth
