How Not to F#ck Up a Merger

As the industry evolves, there’s no shortage of buyouts and mergers as businesses attempt to rehabilitate legacy companies and perform acts of matrimony on befitting organisations. Media is arguably the most disrupted sector. This panel will tackle how those at the top navigate change, and build culture and workforces for the future to ensure the new businesses thrive. Whilst we are busy assessing the business outcomes from the bottom line, how do we define success in terms of people, culture and performance? Debating this important matter are Paul Sigaloff, Managing Director at Verizon Media, Karen Halligan Practice Lead Media Advisory at KPMG, Peter Vogel CEO at Wavemaker and Laura Aldington CEO, Host/Havas, moderated by Alex Hayes Principal at Clear Hayes Consulting.
