Neptune Advisors CEO Lawrence Siff, Senior Director Douglas Rainville and Senior Marketing Advisor Lisa Gralnek covered an ambitious agenda that included:

·         Setting the stage for growth - building for the future, identifying growth opportunities

·         Strategic business planning – defining the destination, establishing the route and driving the course

·         Your brand matters – creating differentiated value, communicating with customers and innovating for the optimal results

·         Accelerating growth through acquisition – weighing options, reviewing synergies and  capturing benefits

·         Long-term enterprise health – institutionalizing leadership, ensuring operational efficiency and staying in step with the big picture

The conference was differentiated by the diverse background of the attendees- owners, directors and CEOs of companies from manufacturing, retailing, distribution and service providers with annual revenues ranging from $10 million to $500 million.

"As a CEO, I have attended many conferences. Unlike other conferences, ‘Pathway to Platinum’ focused on the essential, practical, ‘actionable’ steps needed to grow my company and maximize its value. The conference helped me to prioritize the ‘next steps’ and renewed my confidence in our ability to achieve sustainable growth.," said Michael Sweat, CEO of Odyssey Systems Consulting Group.

Chris Lake, CEO of Schodia, LLC, adds: "The biggest benefit was the opportunity to take a step back from the daily routine and evaluate strategic issues within the context of a well presented framework, and then to be able to reflect on those issues with the wisdom of other seasoned CEOs.  I highly recommend it!"

“Recognizing that middle market companies are at different stages, we provide CEOs and owners with the tools and strategies to take their companies to the next level.  The conference provides a forum where critical issues are examined and best practices are shared among peers,” said Lawrence Siff, CEO of Neptune Advisors.
