ExecutiveBiz featured Doug Wagoner, president and CEO of LMI and a three-time Wash100 Award winner, in its most recent Executive Spotlight interview published Tuesday. He talked about the company’s decision to create an independent nonprofit and a for-profit organization still operating under the LMI brand. The Q&A also tackled how the move could drive collaboration, value for customers and new opportunities and growth.
Here’s an excerpt from the interview with Wagoner:
“Back in 2020, LMI created a strategy focused on growing our company to $750 million by the end of 2025… [Our shift to solution development and providing solutions] has been part of our plans since the Board of Directors started this back in 2017 or 2018. The intention was to begin to operate more like a business than a traditional nonprofit because we have a lot of great capabilities. There are a lot of talented people here at LMI and there is so much more we could be doing if we took a more business-minded approach.
In addition, we’ve made some significant investments in business development. LMI has also started hiring a different type of executive with years of experience across the marketplace in a for-profit environment versus nonprofit. That was the start of a growth trajectory for LMI into today.”
