#47 Hugh Stewart, President | Platform Transition
Get ready to dive into the remarkable journey of Platform Transition's president, Hugh Stewart. Join us as Hugh takes us from his childhood in Jamaica, where a Blue Angels air show sparked a lifelong obsession with aviation, to his emergence as a leading data migration expert in the Sage Intacct ecosystem.
During our conversation, Hugh opens up about the winding path that shaped him, earning his pilot's license at 17, graduating with a master's degree at 21, working as a nuclear and chemical engineer at GE, HP, Pratt & Whitney, and Merck, and ultimately starting 37 companies over 25 years. He shares candidly about the devastating moment employees stole $150,000 from his businesses, how that betrayal sparked his passion for accounting, and the mentor who has been whispering wisdom into his life for 30 years.
Discover the origin story of Platform Transition, as Hugh shares valuable lessons on building partnerships with friends and family, creating an abundance mindset in a competitive market, and the power of choosing a direction and making it right. From rebuilding 15 years of QuickBooks history into pristine Intacct records to giving 10% of profits back to his team, Hugh offers a compelling look at one entrepreneur's journey of turning lemons into lemonade, again and again, while building a company that makes chaos fade away.
