Going global sounds exciting, until compliance catches up with you.
In this episode, I sat down with Michelle Henriksen, Founder of HG4 Advisory and global HR M&A expert, to unpack how Employer of Record (EOR) solutions can make or break cross-border deals.
We cover when to use an EOR vs. setting up a legal entity, how to avoid compliance missteps, and lessons from managing 130+ contractors across 8 countries.
If you’re leading international M&A or global HR strategy, this episode is your playbook for staying compliant without slowing the deal down.

Every deal looks great on paper — until the people challenges show up post-close.
In this episode, I sit down with Rey Ramirez, Founder of Thrive HR Consulting and veteran of Cisco, Deloitte, and Cognizant, to uncover one of the biggest hidden risks in M&A: employee relations issues that erupt after acquiring smaller businesses.
We explore why top talent sometimes falters after a deal, how culture clashes derail value, and what leaders can do before close to prevent it.
Essential listening for HR, Corporate Development, and Private Equity professionals who want to protect deal value through people strategy.
