President Ashli Desai | Bridging Generations: Documenting a Family Founder’s Vision
President Ashli Desai’s Presentation at the 2025 Tugboat Institute Summit
After founder Larry Walker’s departure, the company remained family-owned but was led by non-family executives. This divide between ownership and leadership created challenges in communication and alignment among the family, leadership, and employees.
In this Summit 2025 talk, Ashli tells her story of bridging leadership gaps, crafting a unified, shared vision for the future that brought all stakeholders together.
