Merger Integration Team Members Begin Discussions
The Associates and Citigroup are making a major step in the merger process with the establishment of the Merger Integration Team.
The team is made up of key leaders from both companies to represent all our major operational and support areas. Together, these leaders are committed to turning two great companies into one outstanding company. They are holding weekly meetings and will serve as official points of contact between The Associates and Citigroup. As the integration effort continues, these people – led by Bob Willumstad of Citigroup and Mick McGill of The Associates – will be laying the groundwork for much of our future growth.
You’ll be hearing more from the integration team in the weeks ahead.
