◆ Yes, Goldblum moderates: Operating Partner Playbook, Oct 21, 10:00am
Use it: CBIZ sells NetSuite work, so lead with a partnership angle: “We do the CRM side next to your NetSuite builds.” With Goldblum, open on his 2025 panel with Tom Caruso.
★ Mumman is 2nd-degree. Book before the 21st, he flies to SuiteWorld after.
The multi-brand consolidation problem at large scale: two firms merged (Marcum, $2.3B) with overlapping systems, plus a carve-out that has to stand up its own stack.
"Between Marcum and the Grant Thornton deal, CBIZ has had a big two years. Is the Benefits & Insurance carve-out standing up its own systems, or staying on CBIZ's for a while?"
Large and procurement-heavy, so lead with the carve-out.
Marcum non-attest acquisition (Nov 2024) • New unified CIO/CTO role, Peter Scavuzzo (May 2026), to merge enterprise and client tech • Grant Thornton take-private ($5B, Q4 2026) • CBIZ Benefits & Insurance spin-off backed by New Mountain • Diamond sponsor; 12 attendees
It points at the carve-out, a fresh, contained piece of work with a clear owner. It shows we've done our homework, and his answer tells us who owns it, which leads into asking for a Scavuzzo intro.

CBIZ has a repeatable playbook: acquired firms' sites redirect to cbiz.com and move onto CBIZ's Pardot account 43462. Marcum is the exception, with its HubSpot still live two years after the deal. With Grant Thornton's acquisition of CBIZ due in Q4 2026, CBIZ becomes the acquired brand.

How we scanned: each site was rendered in a headless browser (homepage plus up to three inner pages) and matched against the open-source Wappalyzer fingerprint set (7,600+ technologies), then cross-checked with public DNS: mail servers, SPF senders, domain-verification records and marketing subdomains (go., info., email.). Account IDs (HubSpot portal, Pardot, Klaviyo) show whether brands share one instance. Every account was also checked on Wappalyzer.com. Acquisitions come from press releases, SEC filings and trade press; each acquired company's own domain was put through the same scan. Back-office CRMs are mostly inferred from DNS, so treat "inferred" as strong evidence, not proof.
