Gary West has had great success as a hospital administrator, running a private equity firm and in particular in the field of telecommunications. Along with his wife Mary, West founded the West Corporation in 1985, which went on to become one of the largest customer relationship management providers in the world with more than 35,000 employees and $3.5 billion in annual sales. His ability to build something from the ground floor and prosper also extends to the horse racing business, where the West family’s pink and black silks are a regular visitor to the winner’s circle in major races. Gary West is this week’s guest on the Thoroughbred Daily News podcast, brought to you by Taylor Made.
