A Board Playbook for Breakups

A sale or divestiture is more than a financial transaction. For the board, there’s also the strategic alignment between asset and buyer and what value can be created after a deal closes.

In this episode, RSM’s Joe Goldberg and Bethany Sensenig, a member of multiple boards, talk with NACD’s Mohamed Younis. Together, they discuss the board’s role in evaluating and guiding sales and divestitures, as well as in ensuring transaction readiness.
