How to grow a $100 million business
Jerry Jendusa founded EMTEQ in 1996 with an SBA loan. Starting in the basement of his home, Jerry grew the maker of aircraft interior and exterior lighting systems and management and power systems into an award-winning, global player with more than $100 million of revenue. EMTEQ was acquired by B/E Aerospace in 2014 for a high multiple of revenue. Jerry will discuss the challenges he faced along the way, particularly during EMTEQ's startup phase.
