Ever wonder how business founders with a great idea and very little operational and finance experience make a start-up work? They hire people like Drew Sheppard to help. Drew was trained as an engineer and quickly developed a broad range of managerial skills, including finance, operations, and HR. Drew's career has followed an incredibly interesting arc spanning from the industrial midwest to Silicon Valley and finally back to the midwest to be a part of Columbus, Ohio's vibrant start-up scene. Drew's vast range of experience has helped several companies over the past 30 years. His current role is VP of Operations and Finance at Dynamit, a web and mobile application company in Columbus. We think you will enjoy listening to Drew share his story and advice on how to move start-ups past the initial burst of energy into sustainable, value creating businesses.
