CEO Transitions

Changes at the top of a company can be unsettling to employees as well as important external audiences, such as shareholders and analysts, partners and vendors, creditors, and regulators.

RLM provides comprehensive communications services designed to ensure a smooth, positive transition, consistent with the goals of the organization and the new CEO.  Our services include both strategic communications counsel and tactical implementation and support – before, during, and after a significant change in the executive suite.

We believe that the key to successful communications surrounding a leadership transition is to ensure that all of the organization’s critical audiences are aware of the strategic rationale for the change, the new leadership’s credentials and vision, and the ways in which the organization will benefit.

Working with companies in a wide range of industries, RLM:

  • Handled the announcement of a new slate of corporate officers following a merger creating a fully integrated media and communications company
  • Planned and implemented communications to all internal and external constituents surrounding a CEO transition at one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies
  • Designed and implemented communications about the installation of a new CEO and management team at a Fortune 50 insurer
  • Provided strategic counsel and planning, developed communications materials, and implemented outreach activities for the arrival of a highly regarded CEO at a fast-growing content-syndication company
