In this episode of Poised for Exit, we sit down with Shalin Johnson, Vice President of Business Insurance at Marsh McLennan Agency, to talk about how risk management can increase company value and support smoother business transitions.
With 25 years of experience and a focus on manufacturing clients, Shalin shares why risk management is more than just insurance. He walks us through how strong risk platforms not only reduce liability but also improve employee morale, attract buyers, and prevent last-minute surprises during M&A deals. One example highlights how a single overlooked risk could derail a sale and how to avoid it.
We also discuss the evolving insurance needs of growing companies, especially as they adopt new technologies. Shaylin breaks down the importance of directors and officers insurance, cyber coverage, and staying proactive as risks shift.
If you’re thinking about scaling, selling, or just want more peace of mind, this episode is full of practical insight to help you strengthen your business foundation and protect your long-term goals.
