Outside work our people pursue an enormous range of interests. The attached photographs and profiles reflect some of their diversity. Educated as a journalist she followed a career in communications before joining PricewaterhouseCoopers five years ago. Barbara works closely with clients in situations where they are seeking advice and counsel, drawing on our previous experience with mergers and acquisitions. This is both challenging and enjoyable.
Clients rely on our ability to get in and do something meaningful right away to stabilise a company.
Our aim is to ensure that employees and other stakeholders are enthusiastic about the deal, and that they buy into it and support it. Recently, while working in New Jersey, Barbara received a call from a partner in Dallas asking her to fly out the same night. I called my husband to explain that I wouldn't be home for dinner. I then went to the airport stopping on the way to buy a change of clothes and flew down to the client site. After a short briefing the next morning, the client asked for communication materials within the hour.
