On this episode of Think Small, we sit down with serial entrepreneur Paul Tramo, owner of Sentinel Process Systems, to explore what it takes to lead and scale a 75-year-old company serving some of the world’s largest pharma and biotech firms. Paul shares how he evolved a family-owned niche business into a multi-entity operation supporting sterile injectable drug manufacturing, why he’s building the company to 3X with no immediate plans to exit, and how a deliberate culture built on 31 weekly fundamentals drives accountability and performance. We also dive into EOS, AI integration, tariff challenges, and his work mentoring military veterans transitioning into business—an insightful conversation on legacy, leadership, and purposeful growth.
