Our founder’s experience ranges from the public sector (Capitol Hill speechwriter, press officer at the U.S. Department of Commerce) to the private sector (leading marketing and PR agencies, head of marketing & corporate communications at an international corporation). He has worked on the most sensitive situations, ranging from restructurings, M&A, turnaround, lawsuits, corporate crises as well as normal business operations. A calm head and a steady hand are what he brings to the table.
Communicating the value of a transaction and the potential it will bring is a huge part of realizing success. Sharing how a deal will positively impact the combined entities is core to retaining talent, to gaining a boost from the deal and sets the stage for the new, evolved culture.
Communications around transactions is not just an integration function. It’s foundational. Get it right and it paves the way for a smoother path. Get it wrong and you risk destroying the value of the deal.
When bad things happen to good companies, they need help. Help finding the way out of the situation with someone who’s been there, someone who knows how to untangle things so that everyone can get back to business.
Winn has been resolving touchy situations his entire career. Often, he was the one that would parachute in, metaphorically speaking, when a crisis was brewing. Have a product recall, got a call from 60 Minutes, an investigative reporter, or a Congressional Committee, etc. Winn has been there, working to determine the next steps, preparing the spokesperson and then ensuring that the situation is managed.
