QUOTES

"I had to earn their respect and get them to understand that I knew how to run the business. So literally working shoulder to shoulder with everybody in every department really helped me garner that respect over the years." - Antonio Green
"If you are in a family business or if you're even if you're just young and coming into a business you can't have that persona of I know everything you've got to be willing to learn you've got to eat a little crow sometimes and be willing to take a step back." - Antonio Green
"Definitely having controls to detect fraud is something that a lot of businesses overlook, especially when it comes to the finance and accounting function.” - Laurie Chen
