Business: Transformed
The Business: Transformed podcast was created to address the challenges, the fear, and the uncertainty of leaders who face an incredible degree of change in their businesses. Social, economic, regulatory, and market changes, influenced and underpinned by an increasing pace of technology adoption, are changing both the process and time allowed for making decisions, gathering information, going to market, hiring, collaborating, and structuring a workforce and workplace. To keep their companies in the winner's column, leaders today need to understand how their most successful peers approach, prioritize, influence, and manage change. The Business: Transformed podcast is where you can find those stories.

Episode 1
On this episode, Gary shares insights from his deep and extensive experience leading change as the CFO of organizations such as American Express, Citigroup, and Melville Corporation (the then-parent company of CVS). Through stories from his career, he explores principles of proactive change (such as the split of CVS from Marshall's and other brands that had been housed under Melville Corporation) and reactive change (such as when, as the CFO of Citigroup, he received a phone call from the FED on a Friday afternoon immediately before the financial crisis of 2007/2008).
This is the first of two episodes covering my conversation with Gary Crittenden.
