Supercharge: Sales&Ops - Protecting Your Manufacturing Investment

Will Madden, whose company is in high demand from brands and investors alike, will focus on the investment side of operations and how that can affect companies’ ability to raise money or execute other financial deals. A frequent visitor to plants and boardrooms, Madden will speak on the ways that operations -- and their intersection with potential sales growth -- are part of a due diligence process, one that can be replicated by entrepreneurs to protect their own investments and insure successful transactions down the road. Madden will discuss the process of scrutinizing plans and equipment to determine whether deals are worth the cost -- and how founders can structure their own examinations to lead to improved cost structures.
