I recently accepted a role as a Separation and Divestiture Director at a payments company. My responsibilities include the oversight of transition activities relevant to the finance and accounting organization.

Embarrassingly, I am freaking out because I don’t know if I have the chops to be successful. Is anyone here willing to offer coaching or mentorship on an ongoing basis?

I really would appreciate a neutral third party to guide me through this.

I would suggest you start looking at TSAs, find examples of it online or ask chatgpt to find real examples..

Then go deeper in D1 readiness...

I have been doing carve-outs for many years now, nothing really difficult, mostly even do it with no knowledge in Finance. I can't send you materials, but truly use chat gpt for D1 and TSAs
