• Build relationships, support, and coach GT functional leaders charged with delivering successful integration in their respective areas.
• Represent GT to newly acquired firms in a manner that further welcomes and inspires them to join our growing global firm.
• Partner closely with finance to track and report KPI’s, especially with respect to capturing revenue and expense synergies.
