Business Pivots – LOB 021



Business pivots. When the technology you’re using is no longer the best out there…how do you fix that? An interactive storefront display that works even when the store is closed.

And how do you choose a memorable name for your company? Pick one that’s fun to say. Greg Stoller interviews David Teplow, CEO of Integra Technology; Oleg Vyadro, CEO of Imagesurge; Adam Romanow, President of Castle Island Brewing Co; Scott Hunter, CEO of Vedavoo Better American Gear.
