​I then worked with the company’s legal team to execute due diligence on international export regimes, with a specific focus on the US Export Administration Regulations (EAR), and establish expanded internal export control policies. I then worked together with the company’s legal teams and external legal partners to enhance the company’s litigation defense and compliance processes.

In 2019, I stepped into the role of communication leader of Tadano’s Project Management Office in charge of the acquisition and integration of the Demag Mobile Crane Business. In order to successfully execute this $215 million acquisition, I once again worked hand in hand with the company’s internal and external legal teams to review and negotiate the acquisition contract. Prior to the close of the deal, I visited and spoke with more than 2,000 future colleagues working in the Demag Mobile Crane Business’s operational locations in Germany, France, Austria, the United States, the UAE, India, Singapore, Australia, Brazil, and other countries. I worked together with Tadano Ltd. management and our partners in the acquisition negotiation to ensure constructive and compliant joint communications plans were executed smoothly. These communications were targeted at both internal team members and external stakeholders, such as crane industry partners and media participating at the bauma 2019 construction machinery trade fair. Once the acquisition was successfully completed, I was stationed for more than 3 months in Germany, where I worked with Tadano executives and local Demag and Tadano Faun team members to ensure the successful integration of the new business.
