Lessons Learned on the Road to Becoming an Industry Veteran
March 25, 2016 | VirTex EnterprisesEstimated reading time: 9 minutes
What is most exciting to me is the focus that Brad Heath and VirTex has had on customized customer solutions. He built a company on this and has proven that there is a market gap for this service offering. Brad and I worked in the dynamic Austin market for our entire professional careers, have worked together in the some of the same companies and we have always held a strong mutual respect for one another. Austin has been an incubator only second to the Silicon Valley. We both approached the market with a long term approach based on our integrity and always trying to do the right thing, no matter what. We both believed that your integrity and reputation is built across a timeline. VirTex is a company built on realized promises of providing in-depth solutions where the largest EMS companies have failed. Many of our customers are also friends, business associates and former co-workers and former employees from different companies. They know us, they trust us and they count on us. In addition we provide this same service to some of the Tier 1 EMS companies specifically because they cannot do what their sales people promised.
Thank you Rick, it has been a pleasure. Congratulations once more, I’m looking forward to hearing more about VirTex Enterprises, your strategic direction and growth.
