California CEO Forum Presents:

Fast-Growing Companies: Creating Success In a Difficult Economy

 

In this tough economic climate, keeping your company afloat and your bills paid is a pretty significant accomplishment. Yet some companies have seemingly ignored the challenges of a sluggish economy and soared past their competition. What has fueled the success of these fast-growing companies? And what can the rest of us learn from them?

Come find out at the April 18th breakfast meeting of the California CEO Forum at the Jonathan Club downtown. Our panelists will include:

Brady Caverly, Founding Partner and Co-President, Alchemy Worldwide LLC and founding Principal of Provida Life Sciences. With his partners, Mr. Caverly is responsible for overseeing the development of new products, brands and line extensions, and marketing strategies and channels. To date, Mr. Caverly has been instrumental in creating direct response TV campaigns that have grossed nearly $1 billion in direct-to-consumer sales.

Alex Bouzari, CEO and Co-Founder, DataDirect Networks. The world's largest privately held information storage company, DataDirect Networks provides data storage and processing solutions for high-growth IT environments. Its customers include the world's leading online content and social networking providers as well as cloud computing, life sciences , security, intelligence and media production organizations.

Kerry Sachs, CEO and Founder, Puroast Low Acid Coffee. Mr. Sachs developed a proprietary roasting process which creates PuroastŪ Low Acid Coffee, pure gourmet coffee with up to 80% less acidity than regular coffees. Distribution through major retailers means the company is on track to increase its sales from $1.4 million this year to $5 million next year.
