Cybersecurity is key for deal confidence & valuation. Beyond compliance, strong security posture can protect value, reduce risk & boost buyer trust. Identify gaps, take action to strengthen trust. #Cybersecurity #PrivateEquity #DueDiligence #ValueCreation #ExitReadiness
The "Shiny Object" Trap: 1) Find a co-founder to balance creativity/discipline. 2) Focus on one business, not many. 3) Balance innovation and revenue. 4) Document ideas, review monthly. 5) Set clear criteria to evaluate ideas. Success comes from choosing wisely, not chasing every opportunity.
Two years ago, I signed up to swim from Robben Island to Blouberg in Cape Town, a 7.2km cold Atlantic ocean challenge, despite not being a swimmer. This experience changed my perspective on life and work, making me realize my small role in the world. It inspired me to reflect on the impact I'm making and live a life I'm proud of.
Ran into Allan Swan, an early influence who helped develop my love for coaching, leading teams, manufacturing & self-improvement. Great to see him now leading Panasonic Energy's battery tech growth. Grateful for leaders who invest their time to help you improve.
👋 Reintroducing myself: I'm a family man from Idaho, got into CPG quality/compliance, now run Qualitas to help brands & manufacturers solve real problems without fluff. Built an incredible team, growing 2-3x/year through 2027. Honored to work with bright minds improving the human experience.
Inspired by two people, focused on growth, contribution, and impact. Their connection fuels me when I'm lost or stuck, questioning myself. Unraveling my BMT identity has been uncomfortable, but seeing their evolution has helped me think differently. Grateful for this platform and community.
