Jana Mercereau – Head of Europe M&A Consulting at WTW, Advising Merger and Acquisition (M&A) clients on critical people issues to ensure deal success.
I love to help people, which is why I decided to go into consulting. I entered the workforce as a corporate tax accountant and soon realised that expatriate taxes were much more messy.. and fun. The accounting career path has led me to many interesting places and opened doors for me in Mergers and Acquisitions – the perfect blend of people who need help and very messy projects…
Today I am privileged to lead a highly motivated and intelligent M&A team at WTW who share in my love for chaos and complexity. We work with clients who are embarking on transformative deals, sometimes for survival and mostly for growth and new frontiers.
We help our clients develop the best roadmap for the people aspects – planning for announcements, driving for change, implementing for success.
My teammates are deep experts in all the human elements of deals – organisational design, leadership retention, compensation, benefits, communications and culture. Its messy, but very rewarding helping people.
