PARADIGM SHIFT WITH CHRISTINA MARTINI

Christina Martini and Jennifer Fondrevay discuss how Jennifer transitioned from advertising to marketing and her experience with being part of leadership teams through a series of mergers and acquisitions and the human capital issues that arise during significant inflection points in an organization.

In this episode, Christina Martini and Jennifer Fondrevay discuss: 

  • The importance of human capital challenges and considerations in today’s business world. 
  • The characters you may see during a post-deal landscape. 
  • Talking about the people from the due diligence phase, not late in the deal. 
  • Seeing the opportunity in change. 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Be open minded, have contingency plans, and be nimble in your interactions during inflection points. 
  • M&A transactions are an emotional process for everyone. 
  • Bring on a human capital advisor – someone who can advise as to the people challenges you are going to face during an M&A transaction. 
  • Know what you’re good at, how it contributes to the new vision, and make sure people know that.
