34. Taking on 2021: Navigating a Cyber Attack, Acquisitions and More with Brad Beauchamp

Join industry leaders at The Chemical Summit on September 29-30, 2026 in Houston, Texas.  Visit thechemicalsummit.comJust when we thought there could be nothing more in store than 2020, along came 2021. The year brought business challenges ranging from cyber-attacks to weather events to a continuation of the pandemic. Carpenter Co. is not an exception, having been a target of a hacking attack that almost disrupted their business. But rather than letting the challenges sweep them away, they have managed to become stronger than ever. Its CEO, Brad Beauchamp, is back on the show to share with us how they took on 2021—from dealing with hacking, to M&As, to creating a strong culture for both employees and customers. Facing the new year forward, Brad then shares what they learned from these significant events that greatly impacted the company and how they are going to apply it as they plan for the future. Love the show?
