Much of the owner's personal financial plans depend upon the sale of their business. And most business owners don't have the resources or expertise to make it most attractive for buyers or M&A." - Brian CummingBrian started his first company, Optisoft, right out of college in 1987. During the day, he was designing multi-million dollar air conditioning projects. At night, he would program software programs for Optisoft. His engineering talent and business savvy prompted his employer to allow him to start and successfully grow a new Orlando engineering branch office. Brian then led a successful turn-around for another engineering company. He sold Optisoft to a California firm during this time but continued to design new software solutions and started his second software company - BCA Technologies in 1997.Brian then started his own engineering consulting company BCA Consulting and Design which he was the leader and completed over 450 successful projects. He sold his firm in 2007 to a national engineering firm GRAEF. After the sale of the engineering firm, Brian then focused on building BCA Technologies. He worked with manufacturer's C-Suite to help them automate their sales and quoting processes using eRep's CPQ software technology. Some of these were billion-dollar public companies and mid-size private companies. He provided added-value experience beyond software by helping clients strategies on how to grow sales and increase customer satisfaction. He sold BCA Technologies in 2021 to VC backed Revalize.Brian has always been a listener, learner and doer. He is excited to share his 30 year-experience with other business owners to achieve their goals.
