Odyssey Investment Partners – BETA Blog and Website

Day 6 of 90 days of networking #networking90days ! I am looking for people with passion about life and good people that enjoy networking.

I would have to say that of the $49 billion in deal that I have played role, all of them where done not because of the CEO. Many where done because of an advisor such as a lawyer or board member, but the best referrals come friends of friends!

I welcome and hope for that diamond in the rough referral! I had a great billion Management Buy Out (MBO) referral from a friend that was friends with the CEO when the fist came to USA 40 years before. I have access to division head of tier one government contractor because a friend interned with the executive in their early 20s. I am looking to network to meet good people that can help me network! I am looking for that diamond in the rough referral or introduction.
