Co-Founder & Principal at TSA Advisory LLC. TSA negotiation and renegotiation, governance, finance separation, Day-One readiness, pricing and extension-fee strategy.
Morten has spent over a decade in M&A, on both buy-side and sell-side transactions. He leads TSA negotiation, renegotiation, and governance. He has sat on both sides of the table on transition services agreements and is fluent in the seller's pricing playbook — cost-plus mark-ups, pass-through structures, and extension-fee mechanics. He runs the finance-separation and Day-One readiness workstreams and chairs steering-committee escalations on behalf of buyers.
