Welcome to CorTalent Connects!
Running a company is hard work. More often than not, a business’ success requires confident and adaptable leadership. This type of leadership is almost always learned through experience, but it starts with great listening skills.
As a new leader in your business, one of the best ways to learn on your feet is to listen to the experiences of other successful leaders. How did they get to where they are today? What did they have to overcome? What did they do over and over again before they reached success?
Learn on the Go, Grow on the Go!
Our podcast was built to help growing executives learn from those who are currently succeeding in their fields. We’ll be shining a light on the people who are improving their organizations every day. Join us as CorTalent’s Laura King invites presidents, CEOs, and leaders to share their stories on how they have transformed their business and implemented unique strategies to ensure success.

Turnaround CEO Kristine Glancy & the story of Insignia Systems
[button link=”https://cortalent.com/community/cortalent-connects-podcast/”]Listen Here[/button]
Kristine is an accomplished Executive with over 20 + years of history in the Retail and CPG industry. Kristine joined Insignia in May 2016, during a time when the board was dominated by two activists who owned 40% of the company. Much of the team had been with Insignia for 15+ years, but the business was on a downward trend. For 26 years, revenues fell between $18 – $28 million and, as a whole, the company was unable to develop new innovative solutions for its clients.
Kristine was tasked with creating a new, positive path for Insignia Systems. Since joining, Kristine has:
- Restructured 60% of the organization
- Turned over 80% of the board
- Developed 13 new products
- Reversed an operating loss in 2017 by nearly $3 million in 2018
- Successfully grew the company +26% in 2018
