Prior to consulting I reported to the Chairman of the Board building an OTC stock company to a NASDAQ small cap company while increasing the stock price by 92% in 18 months. I went to that company after building a 2 person venture capital funded firm to a full time employee base of 400. That firm was sold to Lehman Brothers. Directly before that I spent 13 years building and then selling what is referred to as a Super Regional mortgage banking firm. At the same time I bought into a 4 person title company that was losing money and turned it around to being very profitable and the largest title company in the area.
