Mathieu,
I hope you’re enjoying some well-deserved time in France.
I’ve been reflecting on our recent conversation, and one thought has stayed with me.
One of the most lasting impressions a CEO leaves isn’t only how they lead growth, it’s how they lead difficult transitions. Employees who remain will remember how their departing colleagues were treated. Future candidates will hear those stories. Clients and business partners may as well. How an organization supports people during times of change often becomes part of its culture and reputation for years to come.
Knowing this is one of your first major leadership decisions as CEO, it occurred to me that there may be an opportunity for ETSP to help. Rather than viewing workforce reductions as simply an HR event, we believe they can also be a leadership opportunity, one that demonstrates respect for the people who helped build the company while reinforcing the culture you’re working to create.
ETSP would welcome the opportunity to partner with you by developing a Career Transition Program tailored specifically for MarketFully. While the program is designed to provide displaced employees with practical career coaching, personal branding, résumé and LinkedIn optimization, interview preparation, and strategic job search guidance, its impact extends well beyond the individuals directly affected.
From a leadership perspective, a thoughtful career transition program helps strengthen the four areas that are often most important during organizational change: culture, reputation, execution, and the long-term health of the organization. It sends a clear message to employees, future candidates, clients, and business partners that MarketFully is committed to treating people with dignity and respect, even during difficult transitions.
There’s absolutely no expectation here, I simply wanted to share the idea because I believe it could support both your employees and your long-term vision for MarketFully. When you’re back and the timing is right, I’d welcome the opportunity to walk you through the concept and hear your thoughts.

NOTES: THOUGHTS
“Mathieu, approximately how many employees do you anticipate would benefit from a transition program?”
“Of those employees, do you envision this being available universally or based on tenure/level?”
Those two answers determine the final model.
“We would structure this as a 90-day Career Transition Support Partnership rather than a per-person service. Based on the scope we discussed, we anticipate an investment of approximately $25,000–$35,000 depending on participation levels. The goal is to make this simple for MarketFully while ensuring every employee who wants support receives meaningful, personalized guidance.”
Mathieu is paying for:
- having a transition plan ready when employees need it,
- demonstrating responsible leadership,
- protecting culture and reputation,
- providing employees with a resource immediately after a difficult announcement,
- reducing uncertainty during a sensitive time.
If only five people use it, that does not mean the program failed. It means MarketFully made support available.
