The task

Integrate the terminal into the acquirer's global network. The work began as PMI manager and continued as interim general manager, shaping the strategy and the integration.

Result

The integration was completed without any safety incidents, all major customers were retained, and the culture shifted for good from local to global.

What we did

Our work covered sales, operations, safety, procurement, HR and communication, IT, finance, project management, infrastructure and culture.

  • Created the roadmap and 100-day plan, and ran the programme across all workstreams against it.
  • Oversaw the key integration taskforces: safety and operations to meet the acquirer's standards, sales and marketing for business continuity, timely communication to every party, IT systems integration, and HR.
  • Managed stakeholders across government and regulatory bodies, and kept the business compliant with local law in a complex industrial landscape.
