CEO Succession Plan Required After Sudden Death

The CEO of a leading, publicly traded global corporation, passed suddenly on a holiday weekend. Communicating the CEO succession plan was an immediate priority.

We advised the board on implementing and communicating the CEO succession plan, then counseled the new co-CEOs through the transition to the appointment of a permanent CEO.

We maintained the company’s reputation among internal and external stakeholders alike by providing counsel on communicating the transition to investors, sell-side analysts and all global employees.
