I am a reluctant entrepreneur. I left college thinking I would spend 40 years working for the same company. Very naive type of thinking. And bit by bit over the course of a decade, I kind of phased myself into being an entrepreneur. And I would love to tell you that there was a big grand design. There wasn't. I had no grand plan. And one little technology company after another said, hey, can you help us get in some of the biggest companies of the world? And I said, well, I can give it a shot. Why not? My job was to get my clients into the right meetings with the right people at the right time for the right conversations and build that relationship. And we did. We built over a thousand of these power relationships with executives and companies like Apple and GM and IBM and you name it. There aren't too many logos that I, on my team probably haven't touched.
