FYI, I an not “retired”! I was asked to be part of the post-change in control transition team for up to one year following change in control, after playing an active role on the pre-change in control Integration Planning Team. I decided to leave Gillette at change-in-control to P&G on October 1, 2005; and immediately reactivated my management consulting practice: PK ASSOCIATES LLC (www.pkassoc.com), and have been actively engaged at about 100% of my time in annual retainer and growth management project work since October 2005. I have never used the ‘retire’ word!

FYI: I never “retired”!
After working actively on the ‘pre-change in control’ Integration Planning Team (2/05-9/05) at Gillette, along with my ‘day job’ at the time, I was asked during the summer of 2005 to stay for up to one year to work on the Integration Transition team.
I decided to leave at control change (on 10/1/05), when I re-activated my management consultancy, PK ASSOCIATES LLC (www.pkassoc.com).
I have been working at full capacity since October 2005 across annual retainers and project work for major blue chip companies, focusing on Growth Management-related advisory/consulting work.
