Episode 03: Mark Tarchetti
In this episode of the The LAB, we spend time with Mark “The Author” Tarchetti.
The Lancor Advisory Business (“LAB”) has worked with, and placed dozens of Operating Partners and they are often tasked with driving the improvements that will lead to larger and more profitable companies. Much of this is achieved through buying other companies to “bolt on” this growth. Mark has built companies by M&A (~$30b in value) but the majority of the value was delivered by growing the actual companies.
In times of change, growth powers the winners. Even before COVID-19, markets were already facing disruption from insurgent brands and the scale of online growth which is fundamentally changing the landscape – not just in retail. Winners and losers are polarizing, and Mark walks us through some very successful playbooks to grow your existing business – not just buy your way to scale.
As we have seen, the key ingredients are people, leadership and communication and how experience and intellectual curiosity are essential to drive top decile returns!
