Geography
“Before Baron joined BPS Technology in April of 2020, we had engaged his services as a Strategic Advisor and Executive Coach. During those six months, it became clear to me that he could provide a structure that would create a rhythm the organization was needing. This would be an aggressive rhythm, a scope of work that we felt needed to be implemented to create traction on multiple segments of the business. Baron has a comprehensive range of experience that allowed for essential support of numerous key responsibilities. Consequently, we brought Baron aboard in April of 2020. In short order, Baron had developed boards for each of the entities. He worked diligently with me and the senior staff as well as shareholders to pull together our existing business plans and develop an executable strategic plan. The rhythm this created was a fast pace and methodical one, it led to an improved understanding of our technology and ways to protect it legally and through increased internal security processes. His level of assertiveness allowed us to successfully implement the strategic structure we critically needed. He was an impactful addition to our organization.”
