Ep. 108: Optimism is Good for Business With Chris DiPentima

Our guest this episode of Mission CTRL is on a quest to return Connecticut to the economic powerhouse it once was.  Born and raised in Connecticut, Chris DiPentima has an affinity and a love for the nutmeg state.  DiPentima is the president and CEO of CBIA, Connecticut Business and Industry Association, a  leading business organization, with thousands of member companies, small and large, representing a diverse range of industries from every part of the state.   Chris started his career as an attorney practicing in various areas of transaction law and litigation, including M&A, banking, and labor law.  DiPentima was intentional about not joining the family business, but after receiving an offer he couldn’t refuse he decided to step out of his comfort zone.  Tune in to hear how Chris acquired the business acumen necessary to transform Pegasus Manufacturing, position it for acquisition by a Fortune 500 company and continue his father’s legacy: all of which prepared him to lead the CBIA.  Before diving into this dynamic episode Ramon, Chris and the PD Flight Crew commiserate over Big Blue’s latest performance and discuss current events.  . . .
