Claude Burns - Service through Entrepreneurship
Manage episode 237905596 series 2323764
Claude Burns is the CEO and founder of Office Libations. After exiting the Navy following six years as an Information Professional Officer, Claude attended the MIT Sloan School of Management where he earned his MBA, taking the plunge directly into entrepreneurship after graduation. In 2014 he founded Noble Brewer by scaling-up specialty craft beer recipes created by homebrewers and delivered them by mail to consumers across the country in gift boxes. Although this business was showing signs of success, in 2018 he launched his current company which has grown to almost 20 employees while answering a clear demand signal from his customers.
For those of you considering entrepreneurship, this is a great example of how to pivot and adapt when you're receiving market signals, as well as a good example of a post-MBA career track that doesn't just lead into investment banking or consulting. We discuss how he's been tackling challenges, some of the lessons he's learned as an entrepreneur, and the best parts about launching a business and seeing a successful idea gain traction and begin to grow.
