It's a topic on the mind of many business owners, what to do when family members are not interested or not able to run the company going forward. Listen in as Laurie Barkman speaks with Jamie Van Buren, Managing Director at Generational Transfer Entrepreneurs about his search fund that acquires legacy businesses and places energetic operators as CEOs. Jamie shares his strategies for successful transitions and managing in uncertain times. GTE business transitions typically unfold with minimal changes in the first year. But this has been a time when strategic plans last just a few days and managing unforeseen challenges is the new normal. Jamie’s mantra that hope is inspirational, but it is not a strategy, and that fuels them forward.
