The BU

The BU is a magical, perfect structure that is the collective of the imagination and aspiration of the deal team. It exists in a space void of formal approval processes, boundless opportunity, seemingly limitless expenses (without those pesky justifications) and an agreed stop-work-and-drink policy.

In the BU, only the best of the best exist - there are no passengers, no wasteful bureaucracy and certainly no oxygen theives. To keep everyone on their toes, open challenges of authority are encouraged, as are hissy fits, emotional vomits and random arguments that end in violent agreement about the same thing.

The BU is where EVERYONE wants to be - like a tropical paradise in the midst of a cold winter. But alas, while the BU makes perfect sense on a boardroom whiteboard or back of a bar napkin, somehow it doesn’t translate into a multinational P&L

I SOOOOO want to be like the cool people in the BU...they’re like rockstars
