The financial picture is never the whole picture. In this episode, Oliver Colling sits down with Susan Moor, who leads the transitions practice at FRP Transitions and has spent 15 years placing turnaround professionals into distressed businesses. They talk about how the profession has changed, why the best interventions start with operations not finance, when a team beats a single operator, and what it really takes to do this work at the highest level.
