2026 Next Practices Weekly   Culture That Delivers Leading Post Merger Transformation at JBT Marel Hero

In today’s high-stakes M&A environment, culture can’t be an afterthought - it must be a catalyst for speed, alignment, and value creation. Join i4cp’s Next Practices Weekly on May 14, 2026, as Julie Curtin, Vice President of Global Talent Management at JBT Marel, shares how her organization turned culture into a powerful, enterprise-wide driver of post-merger success.

Drawing on the JBT–Marel integration, Curtin will reveal how culture was not dictated from the top - but co-created and activated by employees across levels, functions, and geographies. Built on a clear foundation of company values, culture became embedded in daily behaviors, decisions, and ways of fueling engagement, ownership, and momentum during a complex transformation.
