New Leadership Reporting Relationships
• Anne Sellers will report to Fred D’Alessandro, Founder & CEO
• Andy Sellers will report to Johan Claassen, Chief Operating Officer
• Derek Paquin will report to Tom Spearman, Executive Vice President
Anne and Andy Sellers will remain onboard for six months following the acquisition, after which time
they will be departing from the company. Existing reporting relationships under Anne and Andy will
be integrated into Diversified as part of their transition from the company and in line with the broader
integration plan.
Will my job responsibilities remain the same?
Yes, our business models are complementary, and our client needs, growth and geographic locations
demand the continued focus and work ethic you are accustomed to. As Diversified grows, new
opportunities continue to become available across the combined businesses and with access to new
solution sets. Some responsibilities may shift a bit, partially to account for growth within a larger team.
Will my job title change?
Yes, once we understand each of your roles, there may be some title harmonization. Diversified has
reviewed titles across the enterprise to simplify and internally de-emphasize titles.
Will my pay rate change?
No, your pay rate will not change because of this announcement.
Will my payroll process change?
Not until 2021. Diversified pays exempt and non-exempt employees together on a bi-weekly basis.
Any transition plan will be developed and communicated in advance of this first 2021 paycheck.
Will my benefit plans change?
Your benefit plans will continue through 2020. You will participate in 2021 Open Enrollment with all
Diversified employees in Q4 2020 for benefits effective January 1, 2021.
Will my contribution for benefits change?
Your cost for benefits will remain the same through 2020. The future cost of benefits may decrease or
increase depending upon the benefit plan and level of coverage you select. Diversified’s approach to
benefits allows employees to select coverage for themselves and family members. To offer this variety
of options to all employees, there is a new cost share structure determined for each plan year.
