“Partnerships are everything. Success is not a solo journey.” – Sardor Umrdinov
How do you integrate massive companies, align global teams, and keep growing — without chaos?
In this episode of Founder to Founder, I sit down with Andrew Sobko, founder of Batch and a world-class M&A operator in logistics and tech. Andrew built a $300M+ empire through high-stakes rollups, deep operational systems, and relentless execution.
We break down how to structure deals, manage cultural integration, use AI in logistics, and avoid the most common M&A traps — from someone who’s done it at speed and scale.
🔎 What You’ll Learn:
• How Andrew closed a $100M+ deal with Goldman Sachs watching
• Why integration beats separation in post-merger ops
• How to build trust and credibility as a first-time acquirer
• The #1 mistake most founders make when buying companies
• AI, automation, and the future of logistics
• What great CFOs and boards actually do
• Why grit still matters more than capital
This is a playbook for anyone thinking about M&A, scale, and long-term value.
