You're an agribusiness executive navigating an increasingly competitive market while trying to grow your company, deliver profitable results, set your people up for future success, all while preserving the core and culture of what your company stands for. Mergers and acquisitions are pitched as an accelerant to growth - an express lane - but there is a downside. Once you get on the expressway things move fast and there are few off-ramps. In fact, many M&A deals destroy more value than they create, leaving leaders with damaged confidence, eroded credibility, and a company struggling to perform.

Welcome to The Pacesetter Pod where we explore and reveal the perspectives, insights, and approaches to successfully integrate your strategy, and mergers and acquisitions.
