Manda Koss
Founder of Streamline Growth
With Over 20 years of experience promoting growth for corporations, I decided to bring my industry expertise to the start-up world. I love the agility and creativity that is established in a small business environment and I respect anyone who has ideas and takes risks to bring them to life.
I’ve worked for start-ups that were acquired for millions and other start-ups that failed. The traits of companies that don’t succeed are the ones that can’t clearly articulate their message and have individual segments of their teams operating so independent of one another, that there can be a lack of communication.
I started SGS to show all of you how to create fluidity between your departments and with your clients for seamless integration and growth by creating systems and processes that accelerate your growth, bringing success to your business.
