the Acquire and Merge Journal

Sabir Ewaz started this blog to publish and document his interest for M&A deals, specifically for corporate development. It is one of his few interests within corporate finance. Furthermore it is stimulating him to:



  • Expand and deepen his knowledge on this topic.
  • Develop his skills in applying theory to practical real-life cases
  • Write profressionally.
