Please let me share my experience of why I was chosen by the company as key employee when GE was doing due diligence to acquire my former employer. Although I was not involved in any of the revenue generating, R&D, marketing, sales or operation activities, I was included as key employee just because of my seniority within company having worked in Finance Controlling functions at the country, region and at the corporate levels in various geographical locations. Of course I did add value to the company especially setting up shared service centers, keeping lean finance teams and identified areas for costs reduction.
