Are you growing your company through M&A? It’s tempting to focus primarily on the transactional side of the deal; but there’s also an emotional journey post-acquisition that can impact success of the deal. Knowing what to look for can help you and your organization thrive despite the uncertainty and challenges of the transition. Thriving Through M&A starts at the top.
In this episode, we discuss the emotional journey of thriving through M&A with our guest Jennifer J. Fondrevay, Founder and Chief Humanity Officer of the M&A consultancy, Day1Ready.

A Survivor’s Guide for Thriving through Mergers & Acquisitions.” Jennifer’s expertise has been featured on Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS news, and published in Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, and Inc.
