Outside The Boardroom

How do you keep the innate part of your culture and values as you expand?

Nina Spencer joins David outside the boardroom to tell us.

Nina is a seasoned professional, beginning her career at Accenture before moving to fledgling wealth management consulting firm Alpha Financial Markets Consulting. As one of the first ten employees she witnessed the company's growth from its early stages to a significant player in the consulting industry. After 15 years with Alpha, Nina rose to CEO of one of their business lines, Alpha Data Solutions.

The three main takeaways you’ll get from this conversation are:

· Building Long-term Relationships: Nina emphasizes the importance of sustaining strategic relationships in business. "It’s about really building those longer-term relationships.”

· Adaptability in Operations: Nina discusses the need for businesses to remain flexible and focus on essential services during fluctuating market conditions. "We need to think about what services clients need even in an economic downturn.”

· Global Strategic Thinking: She stresses the importance of leveraging global opportunities by considering different geographical markets. "Thinking globally about where we have the most opportunity to realize potential is crucial.”

Nina and David highlights how crucial it is to keep a strong company culture when growing internationally. Strong, yet flexible company values are needed to achieve ongoing growth and success in what we all know is a rapidly-changing business world.
