Interview Part 1: Ed's career journey with Otis
In this episode, I interviewed Ed Stachowiak, the Chief Operating Officer at Axxiom Elevator.

In 2023, Ed became one of the founders of Axxiom Elevator with a vision to become the "Elevator Service Provider of Choice." Ed believes personal and business growth is not easy. It takes a lot of courage to have honest and open conversations, but is essential to see your blind spots and grow effectively.
