The most dangerous words spoken in a business setting ☞ “That’s the way we’ve always done it.” Companies fail because leadership isn’t willing to change and innovate.I fully understand how to ensure sustainable growth in increasingly competitive industries. I’ve helped companies achieve significant EBITDA and revenue growth, many times pulling them out of a tremendous loss. I lead businesses to optimization by understanding the market and its consumers and driving innovation to develop new products and business processes that lead to untapped profits. I have developed a wealth of knowledge by successfully running PE-backed businesses. PE portfolio companies are where I thrive. I believe that these consumer-focused companies will continue to provide significant opportunities for investors. My creative leadership, innovation, and understanding of consumer and market trends drives sustainable growth that outperforms competition. Through hands-on leadership, I deliver robust results by leading by example. I’m a transparent leader who promotes collaboration/communication, LEAN processes, strategic planning, accountability and a bias for action, which leads to a high-performing company culture. Significant accomplishments include:» As CEO of FeraDyne Outdoors, I contributed to the 5.6X revenue growth over five years. After acquiring and fully integrating five businesses into FeraDyne’s portfolio, I successfully transacted the sale of the company at more than 10X EBITDA. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Please feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn or contact me directly.✉ krauserich7@gmail.com☏ (847) 612-8768
