Blue Wolf Capital Acquired North American Business of Tenon Limited on December 1, 2016. The journey was extensive as we turned the company around and grew from $40M to $400M and then worked with the larger $500M Tenon Limited group. I have done everything imaginable in the Companies and the Investors and Partners I have worked with. EXPONENTIAL THINKING, CONNECT THE DOTS & LEARN SOMETHING NEW EACH DAY are my mantra's.
After 26 years, I am personally spinning off myself to start a new venture 100X which seeks to enourage others to have the same exponential growth I experienced myself. Whether it be working with companies, families, individuals or executives as a Vistage CEO Peer Group Chair in West MI. My goal is to return the favor that my Business "Dads" gave to me.
