Robin’s work has primarily been around M&A Integration work, which includes being on a management team responsible for turning around an operation losing $800K/month, post-acquisition. The success of the turnaround was due partly to creating buy in from employees and union officials, communicating often and keeping employees aware of the state of the business, giving employees a voice, whether through employee opinion polls, or participating directly on project teams, cultivating a more engaging culture, managing external stakeholder relationships, and developing the leaders, whose efforts were led by Robin.
