Energizer to Acquire Playtex for $1.16 Bn

After mapping the common connections between Energizer and Playtex, it becomes clear that board member connections may have played a key role in bringing these two companies together. While the boards of both companies unanimously approved of the deal, taking a closer look at the IntellectSpace Knowledge Map points to David Hoover (Board Member of Energizer) and Herbert Baum (Lead Director of Playtex) as the probable key influencers of this deal. Baum has served as Chairman at the National Food Processors Association, and Hoover is currently a board member of the NFPA.
