Join the IFOB for our first program in our “Navigating in a Remote World Series” on Thursday, June 2, 2022 from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. via Zoom! This husband and wife team covers all things tech, including tools, working with a remote team, and tips for other small and family-owned businesses!
This new series is 100% on Zoom, so if you can’t make it you can register and receive the recording and resources following the live program!
Ever want to go behind the scenes at a technology company? For many of us, technology is a black box. We know it’s important to power our business and make our lives easier, but it can be unfamiliar and boring at the least and even a bit scary at its worst.
This session will give you an inside perspective from a husband-and-wife team who are technology industry veterans from the world’s largest tech companies, and who have built their own technology company right here in Maine to help family-owned and small and medium-sized businesses.
You’ll hear about how they are building a thriving and sustainable business with a great culture, how they navigate the demands of a growing business, how they make it work as business partners and life partners, and some quick tips and tools you can use in your own business.
