Success story
In 2010, the founder and CEO of Green River Capital told me that his business was "circling the drain" and he needed help fixing it. He hired me as President and CEO and stepped aside. After analyzing the issues, I found that the company had significant culture issues, communication problems, operational inefficiencies, no reporting or KPIs and 47% annual turnover. I fixed most business issues in 4 months, increased margins from 11% to 55% and sold the business 16 months later for $50mm.
