On this episode, we invited Matt Glazer, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Blue Sky Partners, to talk about how to approach the transition as a new business owner, when taking over after an acquisition. This is a critical piece of the M&A process, where both the buyer and the former owner need to work together to ensure a smooth passing of the baton so that the team feels safe, empowered and excited about what's ahead.  Matt has had a diverse career focused on launching new ventures, executive management, and change management. He served as the Community Director (regional General Manager) for WeWork in Central Texas and is a two time Executive Director at nonprofits—Austin Young Chamber of Commerce and Progress Texas. He has been in the start up and entrepreneurship space for over a decade, having helped launch Weird Homes Tour and Capitol Intelligence. His work has given him firsthand knowledge of the challenges and solutions that both nonprofits and for-profit businesses encounter on a daily basis. He loves supporting other people and empower them to pursue their dreams. In addition to his role as Blue Sky Partners’ Chief Strategy Officer, he serves as Entrepreneur-in-Residence and professor at Trinity University. Matt is a Texas native and lives in Austin with his family and pup-star, Poe.
