Planning for a Transaction: Compensation and Leadership Considerations

What compensation committees need to know before, during, and after any transaction.

When preparing for a transaction, compensation committee members need a clear roadmap for performing human capital due diligence; ensuring the best leadership team coming out of a transaction; and ensuring the compensation program maps to the organization’s goals before, during, and after the deal. 

Whether your company is embarking on a merger, acquisition, or preparing for an IPO, this webcast offers actionable guidance for transitioning compensation programs over time and ensuring leadership alignment and organizational readiness. 

Our panel is:

  • Adam Kahle, Principal, Pearl Meyer
  • Carrie Jablonski, Managing Director and Head of Leadership Advisory at Blake Street Group (a Pearl Meyer consulting practice)
  • Roy Dunbar, board member at McKesson Corporation, Duke Energy Corporation, Johnson Controls, and SiteOne Landscape Supply, LLC. 

They cover the following topics and more:

  • Considerations for pre- and post-transaction executive compensation programs in the context of IPOs and M&As;
  • New transaction and retention bonus survey data from companies that have undergone a recent deal; and
  • Where to focus on human capital due diligence; organizational readiness; and leadership development and alignment.
