Randstad – Vedior merger and the cultural issues

In this unique plenary presentation, Robert-Jan van de Kraats, CFO of the Year 2008, will look at the transformation of Randstad. In particular, he will zoom in on the takeover and integration of Vedior. Robert-Jan will explain how the company is dealing with the cultural issues of this integration and use practical examples to reveal how Randstad Finance has evolved into a business partner role. The role played by Finance in this transaction has been exceptional - making an offer and getting finance during the credit crunch is a challenge in itself.
