Quotes from Conference Participants:
“As a current Board Director and former CEO, I found the program Pathway to Platinum® quite unique. It has a great blend of: outstanding topics-accompanied by seasoned executives in attendance. Best of all was the structure which promoted discussion among participants on specific useful and thought provoking topics that enabled participants to share experiences and learn from each other.”
Ellen Richstone, Board Director
“As a CEO, I have attended many conferences. Unlike other conferences, ‘Pathway to Platinum®’ focused on the essential, practical, ‘actionable’ steps needed to grow my company and maximize its value. The conference helped me to prioritize the ‘next steps’ and renewed my confidence in our ability to achieve sustainable growth.”
Michael Sweat, Chief Executive Officer

“The biggest benefit was the opportunity to take a step back from the daily routine and evaluate strategic issues within the context of a well presented framework, and then to be able to reflect on those issues with the wisdom of other seasoned CEOs. I highly recommend it!”

“I really enjoyed myself at the “Pathway to Platinum®” conference. I am actively working with a CEO thinking about both succession planning and buying out his partners, your conference helped me to think about several strategic issues we were facing. Thanks for putting it together; I hope you do it again next year.”

“Meeting with Neptune Advisors gave me the singular focus of viewing our business from a Sellers’ Perspective. While it may seem like a very simple shift in thinking, Neptune Advisors is able to connect this perspective to the many processes and measures of your business to show you how to maximize your valuation from both a strategic and financial perspective. This sort of laser focus allows you to prioritize what you need to do to ready your business for an exit. Neptune gives perspective through a process to prioritize your ultimate profitability…an exit!”
