Andy Gilicinski (board director) on the NACD keynote — 'He’s talking about us!'

Gilicinski chaired a Summit panel on multi-generational family firms, with directors from a 106-year-old Coca-Cola bottler in Missouri and a 75-year-old Montana mining company. Sitting in the keynote the next day with one of those panelists, he heard the thesis describe the companies they had just been discussing. He suggests Eric's next book cover family-owned firms.

“The next day, David and I sat together listening to Eric Ries share his thesis around purpose-driven companies outperforming "shareholder-first" public firms.  We kept looking at each other, nodding and whispering, “He’s talking about us!”” — Andy Gilicinski on LinkedIn
