I’ve learned how to delegate, build teams, create a winning culture and use sophisticated dashboards to understand the financials better. In the last three years, we’ve more than doubled staff, tripled revenue and created a solid infrastructure to grow from.

I recommend Vistage all the time when I meet CEOs. We’ve grown our revenues more than 10 times since we’ve joined Vistage… and it’s become a more fun, dynamic and amazing place to work.
