Jake Kent – Chief Acquisition Lifeguard
The biggest problem we see with small businesses as they grow
is that they don’t invest enough in tech to match
industry best practices.
Jake Kent is founder and Chief Acquisition Lifeguard. Jake recognized that the joint challenges of ever-changing technologies and assimilation requirements were becoming a serious problem for acquisition- focused organizations. Back then, Jake ran an IT Services Management firm with a growing list of executive clients experiencing technology bombshells during and after acquisition. The breakneck pace of technology made it challenging to plan for continued growth. Jake’s clients worried that each future acquisition would be doomed to unpredictable expenses, security issues, and blown timelines. With a background in both business and technology, Jake knew that these CEOs needed to stop viewing
technology as a post-acquisition headache that could halt their growth plans and threaten their organization’s success. This reactive approach was
not only costing them time, money, and opportunity – it also meant they were missing the chance to leverage technology for increased competitive edge.
