Growth Code: Tech Entrepreneur Lessons From Echelon's Inc. 5000 Growth


Listen Later

What does it really take to build a company that clients trust when the stakes are sky-high?

In this first episode of Growth Code: How to Crack the Inc. 5000, Jonathan Kersting talks with Dan Desko, Founder of Echelon Risk + Cyber, about the first value that helped power Echelon's rise to number 433 on the Inc. 5000: being truly client-centric.

Dan explains why Echelon does not think in terms of "customers," but instead builds real client relationships rooted in trust, urgency and service. He also digs into why cybersecurity is a team sport, especially when companies are facing sophisticated threats and need partners who will show up fast.
