227: Navy Veteran transforms a struggling Info Tech Business into an Inc. 5000 Superstar - Thomas Douglas of JMARK

Thomas Douglas joined the JMARK team in 1997 upon the completion of enlistment to the U.S. Navy, where he won an achievement medal for his design of a financial reporting database. Starting off as a level one engineer at JMARK, he worked his way up the ranks before purchasing the company in 2001. At the time, JMARK’s business model was structured in a way which had an unpredictable revenue stream, so Tom formulated a levelized billing method which would provide a predictable revenue stream for JMARK. This shift transformed the way the region engaged technology services and put JMARK on a growth trajectory that continues to this day.   This Episode is Sponsored By: What if you could test out your product ideas with target consumers whenever you want before you put all the time and money into development?
