We’ve been teaming up for over 20 years. In the early days, Margaret was Kathy’s client. Margaret’s new ventures group faced a huge challenge—leading the transformation of a $1.6B company from print to digital. Key to success was developing a steady stream of profitable new products and services, which required the buy-in of a unionized salesforce and integration with every functional group in the company.

What gets integrated, how and by when? What’s the roadmap between innovative strategy and impactful implementation?

This effort created a lasting business partnership and an unparalleled advisor team. We blend our expertise in executing—helping clients make faster progress towards achieving key financial targets.
