The “Delivering the Deal” spotlight series is where Mercer’s leading experts discuss the most pressing issues facing business leaders and deal professionals in M&A today.
In this episode of Delivering the Deal, Jeff Black is joined by Teresa Bayewitz, a partner in Mercer’s career business, to discuss current SPAC and IPO trends. Teresa also shares her insights and experiences on the HR and compensation issues that arise when a company goes public through a SPAC or an IPO and highlights what leaders should do to ensure deal success.
