Executive Careers with Fexingo · 2026-07-13 · 6 min
Episode 112 of Executive Careers with Fexingo explores how senior leaders can time their job transitions strategically using the mergers and acquisitions cycle. Lucas and Luna analyze the recent spike in M&A activity in mid-2026 and explain why deal-heavy periods create unique opportunities for VP and C-suite moves. They discuss how acquirers often restructure duplicate roles, creating openings for external talent, while target companies may see leadership departures. Using data from Refinitiv showing global M&A volume up 18% year-over-year in Q2 2026, they walk through practical timing signals: when to approach recruiters, how to assess your company's vulnerability to acquisition, and why the six-month window post-deal announcement is critical for networking. They also caution against common pitfalls, like jumping too early before culture integration settles. This episode offers a concrete framework for aligning career moves with corporate deal flow.
