The Board of Directors soon shared her vision and soon realized that Ilana was the only one who could save the company from sure failure. Once she took the job, more dramatic changes were soon to come.
After her husband took a Professorship and Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, Ilana presented the Board of Directors with the notion that she’d be living and working in Pennsylvania and that she may have to be replaced. Wanting nothing of the sort, the decision was made to move the company to its current home in Oakmont, Pennsylvania.
Ilana recalls that the smartest thing she did in this process was to get in touch with someone who has handled a transition like this before. Hiring a consultant with this sort of experience, Sima avoided problems that they would have faced otherwise. Still, they faced personnel issues during the transition and new hires, but Ilana was able to navigate the company through these difficulties by getting assistance from local specialists and residents… hiring these sorts of people she considered an investment into the company’s future.
Not only that, but Ilana also managed this transition while caring for her small children, one of which required her to scurry between the nursery and the boardroom during the pivotal times during the company’s move.
