The case describes Sukhinder Singh Cassidy’s recent arrival as CEO of Xero Ltd., a cloud-based accounting software company, and chronicles the initiatives she undertook to quickly turn the business around through a combination of organizational restructuring, divestitures of non-core assets, and balance sheet optimization, all to ready the company for a transformational acquisition opportunity.
