In this episode, I interviewed Gary Mosleh, Director of Compliance at UNITEC Elevator. Gary transitioned from a 10-year career in private equity to the elevator industry. He has learned to love the elevator industry, even though it's very different from where he started. We discussed the rigorous process of obtaining a Director of Inspection license and recent NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) code changes. Gary advises leaders to be humble, communicate openly, and be apologetic when mistakes occur.
