On the latest episode of CBS's Eye on Veterans podcast, Phil Briggs talks with Army veteran, Infantry Officer and former West Point hockey player Matt Schachman, who works on a unique team of veterans (and partners with Special Operations backgrounds) to lead mid-level businesses to massive growth.
It was a big departure from leading platoons in Iraq and Afghanistan, so we begin with the lessons Schachman learned leading troops in combat. But more than the usual war stories, he reflects on a pivotal moment with an Iraqi police chief, and how he learned a vital lesson in leadership from working with those who hold a drastically different worldview.
Schachman shares more about his transition from the military to investment banking and the advice he received about ways to operate “at the tip of the spear” in finance.
We also learn how Cold Bore Capital is able to effectively take companies from mid-level revenue to multi-million dollar earnings through their expertise in capital investment, business management and mergers-acquisitions.
For any veteran considering scaling their business, or a career in finance, Schachman is a great resource.
