Today’s episode is a rewind of one of our favorite conversations with Karen Norheim, a second generation CEO of American Crane, a manufacturing company founded by her father. The show first aired in 2021.
Listen in as show host Laurie Barkman, The Business Transition Sherpa, talks with Karen about what fueled their succession story.
Karen stepped into her new role with curiosity and tenacity to make things happen. She led the company to lean in on strategic growth and innovation and are seeing the benefits.
As an update to the show, later in 2021, the family experienced the unexpected death of her father. Fortunately Karen and the company were well positioned.
