Let's get started.

Today I'm here with Rupal Malani, a senior partner in McKinsey's Cleveland office.

Hi, Rupa.

Great to have you on the podcast today.

Hi, Karida.

So good to see you and talk to you as always.

So, Rupa, let's talk about some specifics for the year ahead and the next few years.

What has been top of mind for you and your clients as you start out 2025?

It's a great question.

Lots to unpack there.

So let's take at least some of those topics and dig in a little bit more.

Maybe let's start where you left off with revenue diversification and M&A activity.
