Tank Talk: Darrell Heaps (Founder @ Q4 Inc.) - How Being An Elite Athlete Makes You a Better CEO

On today’s Tank Talk! We welcome our guest Darrell Heaps, Founder & CEO @ Q4 Inc.

On today's Talk, we ask Darrell about his journey as an Elite Mogul Skier on the World Cup stage and his transition to Founding and Leading Q4 Inc. for the last 15 years. We discuss the bumps and bruises Darrell experienced both on the mountain and in the boardroom. We also dig into Darrell's ability to overcome adversity as an Elite Athlete and how his competitive nature in sports has helped him build Q4 into a market leader in the investor relations space while raising over $90M in financing and completing 5 acquisitions. Finally, we discuss Darrell's plans for Q4 in the future and how his team's culture has played a vital role in managing these uncertain times during COVID.

This tank talk really makes you appreciate the hustle, determination and no bullshit attitude Darrell brings to his company each and every day.
