Year Ahead

CF: What are your priorities in 2023 and beyond? 

DB: Coming in new, I was in a really unique position, because the stuff I knew, I knew really well and better than most, and the stuff that I didn’t know I really didn’t know about. And the team I joined knew a ton about the latter. We’ve together come and built a transformation agenda for where we’re headed; start with the customer, build out services and focus on the portfolio and customers.

We’re looking at [this year] this as massive growth opportunity. Evrybody else is talking about recession and being scared. We’re going to be prudent, but now’s our time to bet. We are betting on this strategy, and we are looking at aggressively growing in the face of a market that may be weaker than normal, with the idea that you can gain more ground as a winner in a bad market than as a middling player in a good market. So we’re going to be very aggressive at this time.
