Who are the decision makers in an M&A?

Hello everyone,

I understand M & A is often done by the executives/ Corp dev/ and IB.

I am interested in M&A but I am unsure if any of these paths are for me. In your experience are there any other departments of a company that help decide to acquire a company? Operations to spot synergies? the Marketing team?

Thanks
