Inventor & CEO at EZ ICE, Inc.

As a member of the Katahdin Group, I meet bi-monthly with a group of CEOs of other $5 to $25 million revenue businesses in the greater Boston area. At our board-style meetings, we present detailed case studies of challenges facing our businesses. These meetings not only provide valuable guidance to EZ ICE, but also allow me to learn from other CEOs (some are founders) who have many more years of executive experience than I do. Periodically, we also meet with the other cohorts within the Katahdin Group and I am able to learn from CEOs of much larger businesses — with up to $1 billion annual revenue.
