In this episode you will meet John Sutter (EVP of Risk Management) and Andy Bracken (CRO) of CoVerica
Imagine navigating the tumultuous waters of agency mergers and acquisitions, where every decision can either forge a lasting legacy or signal the end of an era. Today, we dissect the complex dance between maintaining a company's culture and achieving top-line growth. This episode peels back the curtain on the personal factors that drive business decisions and the vital role of community service in our corporate identity.
The heart of our conversation beats to the rhythm of Coverica's M&A philosophy, where the well-being of people is as crucial as the numbers on a balance sheet. We scrutinize the fine line between nurturing a flourishing workforce and capitalizing on immediate revenue spikes post-acquisition. Stories of agency transitions reveal the emotional and financial intricacies only known to those at the helm.
